Rare parrot sighting


RARE SIGHTING: Two critically endangered Orange-bellied Parrots were identified on Hindmarsh Island. Picture: BOB GREEN
TWO critically endangered Orange-bellied Parrots were sighted on Hindmarsh Island last week as part of a Limestone Coast Landscape Board-backed parrot identification workshop.
SA Orange-bellied Parrot regional coordinator Bob Green spotted the birds, believed to be the first South Australian sighting of the species in eight years.
“The most recent confirmed sighting of an Orange-bellied Parrot was in 2013, so this was certainly an exciting and important find,” Mr Green said.
The parrots breed along the plains of Tasmania’s South West Wilderness World Heritage Area, with juveniles being banded for identification purposes.
