Moora Important Bird Area

Moora Important Bird Area comprises a fragmented area of 685 ha centred on the rural township of Moora, in the wheatbelt region of south-west Western Australia. It lies about 175 km north of Perth. Most of the site is private land.

Birds[edit]

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]
