Critically endangered parrot on brink of extinction
Waiting for the Orange-bellied Parrot
There's some intense bird watching going on in Tasmania's far south west as the critically endangered Orange-bellied Parrots begin returning for the breeding season.
Wildlife Biologist Mark Holdsworth from the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment has just returned from Melaleuca and here he tells Penny Terry what it's been like.
Rare parrots flock south west of Melbourne
One of the world's rarest parrots has been spreading its wings south-west of Melbourne.
Funds appeal for parrots
AS the critically endangered orange-bellied parrot arrives at its traditional breeding grounds in Tasmania, an initiative has been launched to save this beautiful little bird from extinction in the wild.
The first of the remaining orange-bellied parrots are reported to have arrived at Melaleuca in the far South-West after crossing Bass Strait from their wintering grounds on the Victorian and South Australian coasts.
There are believed to be only about 35 of the parrots left in the wild.
