After waiting 10 yrs since planting for our 50 Blue & Black gum trees to have their 1st flowering, Spring ‘25 they finally did.

And today I sighted the 1st 2 Swift parrots (critically endangered) to feed on those trees.
Well worth the wait!

Hypocrisy is endemic in Tas politics. Govt and Tas Labor promote tourism on back of Environment while proactively destroying it with logging/ fish farms, rejecting restoration #LakePedder and deliberately sending species to extinction #MaugeanSkate #SwiftParrot #Quolls. #politas

Look at that baby fluff! 🦜The birth of every swift parrot chick is crucial for the survival of this critically endangered Australian species. Hope is the thing with feathers! #swiftparrot #threatenedspecies #wildoz

🚨Exposed: A major Bunnings timber supplier has been linked to logging in critically endangered swift parrot habitat 🦜

#Bunnings claims it’s committed to Responsible Timber Sourcing, yet this revelation could mean what’s on the shelves is timber made of critical habitat for the #swiftparrot. #wildoz
The swift parrot’s distinctive call was recorded dozens of times in a patch of Tasmanian forest. Then the forest was logged
Scientists estimate the endangered bird’s population has slumped to about 750. But the logging agency responsible for clearing its habitat said it acted lawfully

"It's not acceptable that the only thing stopping the logging of #SwiftParrot habitat is Bob Brown Foundation.
There are three authorities that fail in their job to prevent Swift Parrot extinction."

A good news story. The NSW Mid North Coast is a beautiful place. May it stay that way. #SwiftParrot #CriticallyEndangered #Biodiversity 🇦🇺 🦜
Large flock of rare swift parrots seen near Port Macquarie
The sighting of critically endangered parrots is seen as "really exciting" after hardly any were seen across NSW last year. But a bird expert warns the species still faces significant threats.

Did you hear? We’ve filed a case in the Tasmanian Supreme Court challenging plans to log critically endangered swift parrot habitat in the Huon Valley.

Hear Alice Hardinge, Tasmanian Wilderness Society Campaigns Manager, talk about the case on ABC Radio Hobart.

I made a comment on a post by 'Dr Swift Parrot' - so I have to follow through and republish 'Why So Swift'. Swift Parrot Habitat is still being logged, activists are still being arrested trying to stop the destruction: Happening on the mainland too...Why So Swift?
