Dependent young records are from November to February with a rare early record in late October. Since 1987 there have been regular records of adults on nests and inspecting hollows from August to October. The adult male has a distinctive scarlet red head and crest, with the rest of the body slate-grey. Our birds are printed on 320 gsm archival fibre based cotton rag and each print is individually signed by hand by Camila, Co-founder of Eggpicnic. Description: The Gang-gang Cockatoo, or Gang Gang for short, is a small, stocky cockatoo with a wispy crest, large, broad wings and a short tail. For the first six years, all breeding records were of dependent young only. We believe in long lasting products and transparent and honest design processes. The number of breeding records has varied over the survey period but there is evidence of a real change in behaviour. Numbers are fairly regular throughout the year with a slight dip in numbers from October to December. They are widely distributed throughout the suburbs, surrounding parks, and open wooded spaces. Sydneys southwest offers vast areas of farmland with adjoining bushland. The reason for the increase is not clear but is likely due to increased food supply. Specialties include Grey Plover, Glossy Black-cockatoo, Brown-headed Honeyeater, Australian Bittern, Barking Owl, Crested Tern and more. Both sexes incubate the 2-3 eggs for about a month and care for the young. It is the only species placed in the genus Callocephalon. The female chooses a nest hollow in a suitable tree and both sexes prepare the nest for egg-laying, lining it with wood-chips and dust by chewing at the sides of the hollow. Callocephalon fimbriatum ( Grant, JE 1803) The gang-gang cockatoo is a parrot found in the cooler and wetter forests and woodlands of Australia, particularly alpine bushland. They are sexually dimorphic, with the male sporting a red head and the female being grey all over. This species has doubled in numbers over the survey period but numbers have remained steady over the last ten years. Gang-gang Cockatoos form close, monogamous pairs. The Gang-Gang Cockatoo belongs to the genus Callophalon which means beautiful headed. It is easily recognizable by its striking appearance, with the male and female having different colorations. These birds are primarily slate-grey, with the males easily identified by their scarlet head and wispy crest, while females have a grey head and crest and feathers edged with salmon pink on the underbelly. The Gang gang cockatoo is a small to medium-sized bird, measuring about 32-37 cm (12.6-14.6 in) in length and weighing between 190 and 290 grams (6.7-10.2 oz). They are usually found in twos or threes, but may occur in much larger groups. Gang-gang Cockatoos are one of the more distinctive and charismatic members of Australias avifauna. Crimson Rosellas readily visit most gardens searching for seeds and fruit. These conspicuous birds have vivid colours, musical calls and are tolerant of humans.
