For me, it’s the Night Parrot. When I first joined COG in the 1970s, I
recall talking to Dick Schodde about the Paradise & Night Parrots. Dick said
he was sure both that the Paradise Parrot was extinct and that the Night Parrot
wasn’t. So wonderful that it’s now been ‘found’ again. I don’t care if I never
see one myself, provided the bird & its habitat are fully protected,
including (dare I say) from armies of over-enthusiastic twitchers. However, I
would love to see that film clip!
Cheers,
Bruce.
Many
of you chatliners out there will have a favourite Australian bird. If so,
I would like to know what it is (to see if there is any consensus, or
surprises). Need not be local.
