About this fact sheet

Farm dams are important sources of water and a typical sight in our dry Australian landscape. However, open, bare-edged dams can also attract bird species such as corellas and sulphur-crested cockatoos, which may become destructive when they are over-abundant in some regions. These bird species often approach in flocks to drink and feel safe about being able to spot and get away from predators. These dams can also be a safety hazard as it may be easy to slip and fall in!
