re: killing of rare parrots

[Chris Brandis <>]

The Action Plan for Australian Birds, 2000, by Stephen Garnett has the 
eastern Regent Parrot listed as "endangered", the BA project for IBAs 
has them as Biome restricted as well as endangered only on the 2004 but 
not on the 2007 list.
So I suppose it depends on who's list is used.
Cheers Chris
