Nest Box Use by Yellow-Tailed Black-Cockatoos on Kangaroo Island, 2015 – 2023

Created 26/09/2025

Updated 26/09/2025

This dataset contains data on the use of nest boxes by yellow-tailed black-cockatoos on Kangaroo Island (binary response variable; 1 = used in a breeding season, 0 = not used in a breeding season) for nest boxes monitored between 2015-2017 and again in 2020-2023 and the year of monitoring. In addition to this, data was sourced via spatial analysis and remote sensing on the distance to mature Pinus radiata plantation, distance to banksia dominated habitat, and amount of native vegetation within a 10km radius to approximate human disturbance and fragmentation. The name of nest boxes is included, and each nest's spatial location can be identified by this name on a separate Kangaroo Island Landscape Board spatial dataset. The spatial location of nests has been withheld as they identify important breeding sites for endangered bird species.
