ABC TV documentary On a Wing and a Prayer is currently in production but the filmmakers are already posting footage of the rare Carnaby Black Cockatoo on YouTube. You can watch as the eggs are hatched and follow the story for seventy days until the birds are old enough to leave the nest here.
The documentary will follow the life cycle of a family of rare Carnaby Black Cockatoos as they migrate to breeding grounds in the south-west of Western Australia. The odds are against them and hope for their future lies in the hands of one man, wildlife investigator Rick Dawson.
The documentary has been produced with the assistance of ScreenWest and Lotterywest. Check out the offical website here. The trailer can be viewed below.
