The Gang-gang Cockatoo, Callocephalon fimbriatum , is member of the cockatoo family. It is a shy, mostly-grey parrot of Australian alpine bushland. The male has a red head and crest while the female has a small fluffy grey crest. It ranges through out South Eastern Australia and Tasmania. The Gang-gang cockatoo is the faunal emblem of the Australian Capital Territory.
Gang-gang Cockatoos require hollow tree trunks or branches to place their nesting sites. A loss of this habitat across south-eastern Australia through land clearing has led to a significant reduction in the numbers of this Cockatoo in recent years.
