Filmed at Three Springs, a cockatoo haven in the middle of the Western Australian wheatbelt, this program looks at the characteristics and habits of various cockatoos. Also shows how the erosion of forests in the area to make way for wheat farming affects the lifestyle of the birds in terms of food and shelter.
