These cockatoos primarily feed on seeds from native plants, particularly Banksia species, and are known for their loud, raucous calls.
This species is classified as endangered due to habitat loss and degradation, primarily from urban development and agriculture. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their remaining habitats and ensure the survival of Carnaby's Black-Cockatoo in the wild.
