Interesting article and great work being done to save the species. Shame about
the sensationalist references to - Australia's most endangered bird, number one
on death row etc.
'There are fewer than 1,000 mature birds left in the wild'.

'Scientists are scaling trees in Tasmania in an attempt to save the critically
endangered orange-bellied parrot after the wild population dropped to the
“stupidly low numbers” of just 14 individuals'.
Have the Orange Bellied Parrots all gone then?
