         WANTED INFORMATION

            NIGHT PARROT 
          ( Pezoporus occidentalis ) 
              

Dear AUSTRALIAN  BIRDERS , 

I have the pleasure to advice you, that thanks to the great 
and brilliant support and suggestions, ideas and informa-
tions from several very helpful and friendly australian birders, 
ornithologists and aviculturists - who all I, of course, directly
will keep inform with the development -  the preparation are 
going ahead for my forthcoming parrot study tour to your 
great country, " Land of Parrots "  :   

   " PARROT WATCHING IN AUSTRALIA " 

               September 1999.

which I believe will be the final European Parrot Watching 
Tour in Australian of this century.


According to my preparation I still need the information 
about where and how to find the Night Parrot ( Pezoporus 
occidentalis ), which is Australia's rarest bird.   


I know the Night Parrot is last seen alive 80 years ago  - 
and there have been many reported sightings throughout
this period. 

But, as far as I know, no hard evidence so far.

That is why I kindly ask for your help ... ! 


And, of course, you must think I am crazy !  

" But I am glad, I am mad " ... !

But some people win in the Lotto, so why I should I not be 
lucky one to win a sight of the Night Parrot in Australia ... !

Therefore, if you any knowledge to Night Parrot sighting, 
and Night Parrot habitat, I would be very grateful if you 
could advice me .... ! 

For your pleasant information, PARROT WATCHING IN 
AUSTRALIA, September 1999, is no ordinary tourist tour, 
but will be a tailor made study tour particular interest to 
the our team of adventurous parrot birders wanting to 
explore the flora and fauna - and especially unique birdlife - 
of Australia


I know Australia is the home to an abundance of parrot 
species, and thoughout the ' Parrot Watching in Australia '  
trip I do hope to see as many parrot species as possible.

And mayby the NIGHT PARROT .......!!!

Best regards, 

Peter H. Them
