G'Day All
A display of rare ornamental birds for sale somewhere in France was
shown during the early part of the SBS television program Global
Village shown at about 6.20 pm last night (23 May). The locality
in France was stated but I missed it. Among the birds shown was a
brief shot of a Neophema Parrot which might have been an
Orange-bellied Parrot. They only showed a glimpse and Im not
certain as I wasn't concentrating at the time.
I hope in this instance that my ID was wrong but if it was an OBP,
it is of concern that this species could be in private collections
and for sale. I hope that some authority can have a look at a
replay if it is available. Did anybody else see the program?
