Hello Sue.
I travelled daily from Upper Burrinjuck (where the
park and boat ramp are now) into Yass to school in the early '50s for a year and
didn't see a single 'Greenleek' (Superb Parrot) along tha route although I was
keen on parrots at the time. So much so that I had arranged to swap a
Crimson Rosella for one with a kid from north of Bowning where SPs were
known to be common (among us kids at the time). The exchange didn't go
through.
It appears that SPs were rare or absent between
Yass and Burrinjuck in the early 50s. Has there been an increase in
Superb Parrots in that area? Comments welcome
Peter
