    This white-fella would love to see a night parrot.

    In a world full of so much awful news and tragedy, the idea of a mysterious parrot hiding out in the desert and surviving is an immense moment of hope and joy.

  4. Have you ever heard of the night parrot? 🦜✨

    This elusive bird was thought to be extinct for almost 100 years until a live population was rediscovered in 2013.

    Since then, this pretty parrot has only been seen in small groups of ten or so birds – until now. Discover how Indigenous rangers found a flock of about fifty night parrots in Western Australia: ausgeo.co/fiftynightparrot

  5. Once thought to be extinct for 100 years – and currently listed as Critically Endangered – the night parrot (Pezoporus occidentalis) is one of modern Australia’s most elusive creatures.

    With the chances of ever finding a night parrot in the wild so incredibly rare, the best chance of seeing one up close is to view a specimen - and the Western Australian Museum is home to the best-preserved whole specimen on display anywhere in the world.
