Hi all,

An interesting article on the Night Parrot. I'm interested as to what 
constitutes a confirmed record, as in the comment "The last confirmed living 
Night Parrot was observed at Nichol Spring, WA in 1912"? There is a 
BARC-accepted record from the Pilbarra in 2005 (see 
http://www.tonypalliser.com/barc/summaries/SUMM506.htm) - I would've thought 
that was pretty close to a confirmed record?

Cheers,
John
