I think its good to have specifically bird focussed notices of this kind on 
this list. I think a lot of us like to know what is available, even if we are 
not currently posed to take advantage of these opportunities: I do not regard 
this as spam, to any remote degree.

Hi Laurie and everyone,

We're doing just that: for 2016, an all-Grasswren tour is on the program.
As you and many others will know, we've been running 6 Grasswren tours
since 2006, expanded to 9 Grasswrens 2 years ago, and we're now working
with local bird guides to plan an all Grasswren tour taking in all current
species plus a number of the proposed splits.
It will be delivered using a combination of private charter flights (by a
reputable company) and 4WD vehicles. It looks like it will be around 16
days. As a result, it will be expensive and with limited seats.
Nevertheless, there has already been strong interest. Further details are
on my website: http://www.bellbirdtours.com  and here:
http://sabirding.com/grasswren.html#all keeping in mind that we're still in
the final planning stage of this project.

(I've always refrained from putting messages of a commercial nature on
birding-aus so sorry if this breaks the advertising rules but it appears
that others can do so undeterred and repeatedly).

cheers
Peter

G?day Don

The parrot tour that the locals would want to do would be one that takes
them to the hard to get ones - Princess, Scarlet Chested, Night, Paradise
etc   ;)

An interesting challenge would be to set up a Grasswren tour - grasswrens
are iconic outback birds, and you could probably put together a good scenic
tour that lines up all their ranges ?

Regards, Laurie.

My theory is that Aussies wouldnt necessarily be attracted to or want to
pay for a tour to see parrots in their own land.  Am I correct on that
one?

I know that globally those of us who do not live in Aus have no qualms
about funding a tour just to see parrots.

I wonder what my mates in Aus think about this one.

Thanks as always for great feedback here!
