Saving the Superb Parrot

.

The Superb Parrot is one of Australia's most striking birds, but habitat decline has reduced their numbers to less than 5000.

Key threats:

.

Superb Parrots are threatened by Removal of hollow bearing trees and clearing other remnant woodland vegetation. The poor levels of natural regeneration of their habitat add to the pressure of habitat loss.

.

Parrots feeding on grain spilled onto roads from transport trucks are often struck by vehicles, resulting in high mortality for many populations.

.

Competition from feral bees and pressure from illegal trapping are additional problems for Superb Parrots.
