Jochen,
I previously sent this to the list from
work, but it appears not to have been posted.
I was watching some Australian King-Parrots
at the ANBG yesterday (Sunday) morning when I saw a flash of a lighter green.
On closer inspection the lighter green belonged to a male Superb Parrot. This sighting
was made in open forest in Section 88. I continued to see king Parrots and hear
Superbs in close proximity and then saw my second male in the rainforest area. I
was surprised on two fronts; firstly that the Superbs were obviously associating
with the King-Parrots and secondly, having only previously seen Superb Parrots
in open country, that the birds were to be found in such dense vegetation.
Cheers
Alastair

the superb parrots?
Dear All,
does anyone know whether the Superb Parrots are still on ANU campus, and if
yes, where to look for them?
Thanks
