Meet Max, the adorable and cheeky cockatoo who has

Meet Max, the adorable and cheeky cockatoo who has been with Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas, #exploretnq for 3 years after being placed there via an avian Rescue Group in Townsville.

Max is a Naso subspecies (Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo) from Western Australia. Isn't he beautiful!!??

The Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo is one of the five subspecies of red-tailed black cockatoos native to Australia. The males have scarlet panels in the tails and a dark grey bill. The females have yellow spots on the head, neck and wings, the tail has orange-yellow barring and the beak is off white.

The species is listed as Vulnerable by both the WA and Federal governments.

As Wildlife Habitat's Wildlife Manager, Rabecca, told us (and we definitely also discovered firsthand), Max, who loves to hang out in the café area, just adores women!! But anyone with a free shoulder in the café is fair game for receiving his flirtatious advances. We're talking serious smooches and non-stop cuddling 😄😍

We could watch ’Blondie’ the greater glider all day 😍

The greater glider is listed as vulnerable to extinction under both the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and the EPBC Act 1999.

However, a recent report has revealed that destruction of its identified habitat in New South Wales and Queensland has soared by 52 per cent in the past four years!

Make sure you subscribe to our free myWildlife e-bulletin this month for an update on the EPBC Act Review and what's being done to protect our vulnerable greater gliders, including how Wildlife Queensland is helping the species in the Moreton Bay region.

⚠️ PLUS... Stay tuned next week for details of a special Wildlife Queensland webinar about Queensland’s glorious gliders!

A beautiful little Azure Kingfisher that we spotte

A beautiful little Azure Kingfisher that we spotted on an incredible Daintree River cruise, #exploretnq with #daintreeriverwildwatch this week.

The Azure Kingfisher is one of the smallest and most dazzling kingfishers in Australia. It inhabits the vegetation beside waterways and other wetlands, where it often perches on low, overhanging branches, searching for its prey of fish, crustaceans and aquatic insects.

Our incredibly knowledgeable guide, Ian ”Sauce” Worcester, told us that this little guy was no doubt hungry and in search of dinner as he perched (very cooperatively) on a branch while we photographed him.

So true @bobbybert_ ❤️ and what a magnificent capture of this adorable little brushtail possum in his home.

Posted @withregram • @bobbybert_ A dead tree still has life to give!
I asked this little #possum what it thought of their home. Possum said: "Gets better with age!"

Are you ready to take the Plastic Free July challe

Are you ready to take the Plastic Free July challenge? ♻️👊

Getting rid of takeaway plastic packaging will only happen when governments ban these unnecessary products. It's also about all of us taking personal action, showing it's necessary and possible.

Wildlife Queensland is asking you to join the challenge and choose to refuse single-use plastic this Plastic Free July.

It's easy, here's how 👉 https://wildlife.org.au/ready-to-take-the-plastic-free-july-challenge/

Check out this stunning Eastern Sedgefrog (Litoria fallax) sitting on a Batwing Coral Tree (Erythrina vespertilio) 😍
This little frog is usually a green colour but it can change colour to be brown or a mix of the two colours.
The picture was taken at Mt Perry in the Flinders Peak region, South East Queensland where the Wildlife Queensland team recently completed a three-month infra-red camera monitoring program looking for spotted-tailed quoll.

Today is World Rainforest Day!🌴 World Rainfores

Today is World Rainforest Day!🌴 World Rainforest Day is a collaborative effort to raise awareness and encourage action to save one of Earth’s most precious resources, our rainforests.
Rainforests are vital for the survival of life on Earth. They absorb our carbon dioxide, stabilize climate patterns, and are home to half the world’s plant and animal species.

Here in Queensland, we have what is widely acknowledged by scientists as the oldest tropical rainforest in the world and what Sir David Attenborough described as “the most extraordinary place on earth”- the Daintree Rainforest.
Did you know?🤔 The Daintree Rainforest ... * Is over 135 million years old.
* Is part of the Wet Tropics of Queensland Rainforest that spans across the Cairns Region, and covers a vast area of 1200km².
* Is home to the world’s most diverse range of fauna and flora. It includes 142 rare, threatened and endangered species of plants and 44 rare, threatened or endangered species of animals - many of which are endemic to the region. These include the Musky-rat Kangaroo, Spotted-tail Quoll (D. maculatus gracilis - north-east Queensland subspecies) and Southern Cassowary.

Happy #frogfriday everyone!🐸 Who's hoping for some fab frog finds over the weekend?
If you're in Queensland or New South Wales (and some parts of Victoria) you may come across the eastern dwarf tree frog (Litoria fallax) - also known as the eastern sedge-frog.
This lovely little #treefrog reaches up to 2.5cm in body length and has a bright green or bronze back, with a bronze strip from the tip of the snout along the sides if the back is green, or small green patches if the back is bronze, and a white stripe from under the eye to the arm.
Whilst the eastern dwarf tree frog isn't listed as an endangered species, many of Queensland’s frogs are under threat from habitat loss and degradation. Find out more and how you can help via the link in our bio ☝️ 📸IG / @laj_wildlife

Who’s loving hanging out at the beach and parks

Who’s loving hanging out at the beach and parks now that restrictions have eased? 🏖️😎 IG/ @photos_by_ruley spotted these two little Egrets hanging out on the beach at Currimundi Lake (Kathleen McArthur) Conservation Park on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. The park is named after botanical artist and conservationist, Kathleen McArthur - one of Wildlife Queensland’s founders.

What’s not to love about Australian birds 🐦?

What’s not to love about Australian birds 🐦? Such stunning beauty and diversity! In fact, Aussies love their birds so much an estimated 30-60 per cent of households feed backyard wild birds.
But it this a good idea? Wildlife Queensland recently caught up with urban ecologist and pioneering researcher in bird feeding, Professor Darryl Jones, to chat about this somewhat contentious subject.

What's more adorable than a striped possum? Two striped possums! 😍😍 A close relative of the sugar glider, the bushy-tailed striped possum (Dactylopsila trivirgata) is endemic to North Queensland and can only be found along the coast from Townsville to Cape York. However, these naturally shy, solitary marsupials are rarely seen - and rarely seen together - which makes this amazing capture even more amazing! 📸IG: @tomfrogbrooke
