Birds

The site has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because it supports up to 60 breeding pairs of the endangered Short-billed Black Cockatoo as well as a population of the restricted-range Western Corella.^[1] The site boundaries are defined by areas of suitable nesting habitat for the cockatoos along two road reserves and within Moora.^[2]
