Discovering the Night Parrot in WA

The 2017 Science on Broome Coast series is underway, starting on May 24 with the exciting story…
The night parrot – how one of the world’s most enigmatic species was rediscovered in WA.

Arguably one of the world’s rarest bird species, the Night Parrot was last confirmed in WA in 1912 when an individual was shot in the Gascoyne region. Bruce Greatwich and Nigel Jackett, with George Swann and Adrian Boyle embarked on a trip to the remote desert in the hope of finding the species. Many years of hard work and refinement of detection methods paid off, when the team was able to capture photographs and call recordings of the Night Parrot in WA for the first time in history.
