Media (some of them)

["Terry Pacey" <>]

A friend on the Darling Downs has just read to me an article in today's
"Toowoomba Chronicle".  It tells the readers how habitat destruction in
Tasmania has made Swift Parrots move to Bardon in Brisbane - the whole 35 of
them.

My neighbour was questioning me this morning on the Gouldian Finch and
ADRAIL.  Apparently, the article he was reading (I don't know which
publication) stated that the incident endangered the survival of Gouldian
Finches in general as there are only a hundred or so in the wild (the whole
of Australia).

Sean Dooley had better move quickly as, if this trend continues, there will
only be Mynas and Turtle Doves left before he finishes his quest.
