Friends of Mt Majura Special Event
Endangered Swift Parrots
Talk by Belinda Cooke, Swift Parrot Recovery Coordinator
When: Tuesday 20 May, 7.30pm
Where: Blue Gum School Friends’ Lounge, Hackett shops, Madigan
Street
In April and May more
than 20 swift parrots at a time have been
observed weaving through the canopy of the tall
box trees on the lower slopes of Mt Majura. In 2005 Mt Majura hosted up
to 70 swift parrots for about six weeks, a number and period of time
never recorded before in the ACT.
Swift Parrots migrate the longest distance of any parrot in the world.
They leave their breeding grounds in Tasmania in autumn to forage on
the mainland.
Hear about this endangered parrot species and their visits to Mt Majura
and view a documentary with fabulous footage by local ornithologist
Geoffrey Dabb.
