Birds Queensland offered its services to the Conservancy by offering to increase community awareness by running monthly bird walks for community participation in areas known to have Glossy Black-Cockatoos and running Glossy Black-Cockatoo information presentations at local council libraries across the South-East Queensland region. Information sessions include a detailed power point presentation as well as brochures and posters, prepared by the Conservancy.

Community awareness of this iconic species is also increased by highlighting the Glossy Black-Cockatoo being the focus species of Bird Week in August / September each year. These events often coincide with radio promotions and targeted surverys for the birds.

These activities have resulted in an increased awareness of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo in the community as well as providing assistance to the Conservancy by improving the accuracy and quantity of records submitted.

The conservancy has also run a number of workshops in various council areas to provide background information on the species while also providing infomation in brochures, posters, fact sheets, newletters and an Education Kit.
