Australasian parrots
A GROUP DEVOTED to the study of wild parrots in Australia, New Zealand and Oceania has been formed within the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union. The BIRDS Australia Parrot Association will focus interest on some of the region’s rarest native species, like the kakapo and orange-bellied parrot, as well as some of the most difficult-to-manage and the most abundant.
The association will discuss issues that threaten parrots throughout the region, such as clearance of habitat, changes in fire regime, loss of hollows etc. It will produce a newsletter, run expeditions and projects and prepare policies on parrot-related issues. Membership costs $18 or less. Contact BIRDS Australia Parrot Association, c/- RAOU, 415 Riversdale Rd, Hawthorn East, Victoria 3123.
