Superb parrotThe Orange community is invited to flock to Bloomfield Park to celebrate Superb Parrot Day on December 4.
Orange Field Naturalist and Conservation Society secretary Tony Smith said the event was pitched at people of all ages and aimed to lift the public profile of the endangered superb parrot.
“We’re very lucky to have a growing population in Orange,” he said.
Mr Smith said while the parrots could also be spotted in Molong and Cudal they were not readily found in most parts of NSW.
Mr Smith said he hoped people of all ages would be keen to learn more about the parrots and children participating in the day would be given pictures of the parrots to colour in.

SUPERB IDEA: NetPro service provider David Delsorte installs a nesting box high in a tree as part of a project to provide superb parrots with a nesting place in Orange's woodland areas. ORANGE conservationists hope nesting boxes for the superb parrot may play a part in helping the vulnerable species to survive.
