Hello all,
Just read a short article in Sept 03 Australian
Aviculture magazine.
Interesting quote, "Today ,the Australian Wildlife
Conservancy....
is announcing that Mr Mike Fidler is donating
$600,000 to saving the species
(Gouldian Finch) in the wild and restoring
populations to areas where
the endangered birds once thrived."It goes on to
say,"One of the first outlays
the organization has made is to headhunt from
the NT Government the nation's
leading Gouldian Finch scientist ,Dr. Milton
Lewis"
Does anyone know anything about this?
Sounds encouraging if true. That is fantastic
private donation particularly as
the donor is an aviculturist.
Cheers,
Bill
