Just saw this. Benj
Davey, C. & Purchase, D. (2004). A survey of the Superb Parrot Polytelis
swainsonii and potential nesting tree hollows along roads of the south-western
slopes, New South Wales. Corella 28: 1-3. (24 Bardsley Place, Holt, ACT 2615,
Australia).
Action Plans for the management of Superb Parrot Polytelis swainsonii
populations have been developed yet measures of abundance are lacking. We
present a series of counts to determine the abundance of Superb Parrots and the
number of potential nesting trees along road verges on the south-western slopes
New South Wales. There were 2.5 possible nesting trees per kilometre whilst
just prior to the start of the breeding season there were 0.62 birds per
kilometre. Birds were reported throughout the survey area but their
distribution did not correspond to an increase in the number of trees with
potential nesting hollows. The survey provides benchmark data for future
reference on the number of potential nesting trees and, due to the lack of
correlation between Superb Parrot numbers and nesting trees, highlights the
importance of retaining all trees whether isolated or not along road verges
