Gooday all,
I think the most glaring inaccuracy in the media report by Phillip Hammond
in the Courier Mail is the location of the discovery.
Quote "It was a once-in-a-lifetime discovery when dedicated birdwatcher John
Young came across a completely unknown parrot high in the canopy of a North
Queensland rainforest"
Location wrong should be SE Qld.
Plus last night on ABC TV the Newreader refered to the bird as a
Blue-fronted Figbird. I beleive a scientific paper will be released in due
course.
What determination and commitment by John Young to discover this bird,
sleeping in the canopy of the rainforest wouldn't be my cup of tea.
