Orange-bellied Parrots and ID workshop in South-west Victoria

This month I come with even more exciting news from the Orange-bellied Parrot Recovery Team. Two Orange-bellied Parrots (OBP) have been confirmed in south-west Victoria! Although we’ve known Orange-bellied Parrots travel though and use the habitat in south-west Victoria, they have not been sighted there for a few years. This brings the total number of confirmed mainland sightings for the year to 18.
If you’re interested in helping to survey these rare birds, please get in touch with the coordinator for your area (see below). And, if you’re in Western Victoria, come along to an identification workshop.

I’ll be hosting an Orange-bellied Parrot Identification Workshop in Koroit, Victoria in early July. If you are interested in attending please contact Jess at .

If you need to report a sighting, or you’re interested in taking part in this project over the winter, please go to the OBP Recovery Team website to find the correct contact for your area.
