I know that Europeans breed neophema parrots for even color variety alone
and most species abound in their aviaries. Does anyone know if
Orange-bellies are found in European aviaries as well. I would think this
rather obvious question has been posed before but naturally the importance
of it is impacting. If breeding stock is available in Europe then they
could potentially be a great boon to Aussie populations at least the captive
stock. Personally it is both puzzling and saddening to hear that the wild
flocks I filmed in January of 2008 (about 200 individuals at that time) are
down to less than 50. I am just so puzzled why in this modern age of
conservation this has taken place. Anyway I am sure hoping for wise
conservation moves for the future of this gorgeous little parrot.
If anyone wants to have a quick look at some stills from video of my Tas
adventure to see Orange-bellies you are welcome to stop by my blog.
