New plan to save swift parrot

The critically-endangered swift parrot needs your help. 🦜 It's one of the world's fastest parrots (clocked at 88km/h!), and one of only two to breed solely in lutruwita / Tasmania. Now, their home—the most mature strand of blue gums in the world is at risk from destructive logging. Help us call for an immediate moratorium on logging swift parrot habitat and make Lonnavale Forests (south-west of nipaluna / Hobart) a Swift Parrot Important Breeding Area. wilderness.org.au/act-swiftly | The Wilder

Swift Parrots are back in Lutruwita / Tasmania 🦜 Each year they make the long migration from the mainland to breed and each year, more of their forests are gone. Forestry Tasmania is logging the very habitat these critically endangered birds depend on to survive. Since 2014, they’ve lost over half their only breeding forests, with native forest logging the biggest driver. We’re on the ground defending habitat with frontline actions and running citizen science surveys to document Swift Parrots i

Swift parrots are settling in our Tasmanian forests to breed and raise the next generation of this critically endangered species. Forestry Tasmania has been straight on their back and started to log their habitat. Today we took action and logging halted. We will be back to defend their forests and want you to join us. | Bob Brown Foundation

🔊 Watch and listen as Swift Parrots call from a forest that Forestry Tasmania still plans to log, even after we’ve recorded and reported this critically endangered species nesting here. Environment Minister Murray Watt’s bill to amend Australia’s environment laws keeps native forest logging exempt, allowing destruction to continue and pushing this species even closer to extinction. Swift Parrots only breed in Lutruwita / Tasmania. Every forest that supports Swift Parrots needs to be left standi

You'll need your volume on for this one! 🎧 What you're hearing are the distinctive sounds of a swift parrot's call—'swit swit'—while searching for food. A swift parrot's favourite food to eat is nectar found on the outer canopy of flowering eucalypts and the occasional psyllids and lerps, seeds and flowers. They want it so much so that some have been seen travelling a further 1,000 km distance outside their normal range just to get a good supply of food! What's your best imitation of a swift pa

The Swift Parrot can reach speeds of 88 kilometres an hour. But even speed cannot protect them from losing their homes. There may be as few as 750 left. You can help protect critical nesting and feeding sites. Donate Now! | BirdLife Australia

For the Swift Parrots survival we are in Tasmania Supreme Court and in the forests at our Swifty blockade. BBF is today launching Supreme Court action to complement the ongoing forest blockade to protect Swift Parrot from wilful logging by a forest agency intent on driving this critically endangered bird to extinction. “As brave citizens defend the parrots with a blockade now in its 28th day, the loggers ignore the birds and their nests contrary to all regulations and protocols.

Our citizen science survey in these forests last summer recorded the critically endangered parrots, we reported this to Premier @jeremyrockliff and still he oversees the logging of these nurseries. Premier Rockliff - you are ignoring IUCN advice that all habitat for the Swift parrot on public lands must be out in secure conservation reserves. @albomp & @tanyaplibersek You want zer
