Beautiful #orangebelliedparrots punctuating the landscape in their large flight at the zoo today.. 💙💚💜🧡 I’m sure that many birders are anticipating the chance of seeing a wild one as they return to the mainland to overwinter. In 2017 I gained a fellowship to work with them in SW Tasmania and that season, the wild population was at its lowest ever - just 17 wild birds (only four of which were females)!! This habitat at the zoo affords the birds fitness and predator awareness before release to the wild rendering them more able to survive. This season the wild numbers were up to 81 birds. #criticallyendangered #wzbpr #neophema_chrysogaster
