Distribution of the Vulnerable Princess Parrot Or Alexandra's Parrot

Distribution of the vulnerable Darwin princess parrot or Alexandra's parrot " (Polytelis alexandrae) This map shows the general distribution of Polytelis alexandrae. The known distribution comprises the preferred habitat of the species within the immediate area (5km) of recently confirmed observations and expert validated locations. The likely distribution comprises the suitable habitat of the species occurring within its broader environmental range and has been defined by statistical modelling of localised population groups.The may distribution comprises the broade"r environmental range that could provide habitat for the species and has been defined by regional scale vegetation mapping (NVIS 2012) and statistical modelling of regional population groups.

Manning and Dr Laura Rayner of the Fenner School of Environment and Society (ANU). Professor Robert Heinsohn and Dr Dejan Stojanovic of the Fenner School of Environment and Society (ANU) were integral to the design and execution of research contained within. Mr Chris Davey contributed many hours of nest searching and monitoring to this project. In addition, previous reports of superb parrot breeding in the study area, prepared by Mr Davey for the Canberra Ornithologists Group, provided critical baseline data for this work. Dr Laura Rayner and Dr Dejan Stojanovic undertook all bird banding, transmitter deployment and the majority of nest checks and tree climbing. Mr Henry Cook contributed substantially to camera maintenance and transmitter retrieval. Additional field assistance was provided by Chloe Sato, Steve Holliday, Jenny Newport and Naomi Treloar. Funding and equipment support were provided by Senior Environmental Planner Dr Michael Mulvaney of the Environment and Planning Directorate (Environment Division) and Ecologist Dr Richard Milner of the Territory and Municipal Services Directorate (ACT Parks and Conservation Service). Spatial data of superb parrot breeding trees and flight paths for the Canberra region were provided by the ACT Conservation Planning and Research Directorate, (ACT Government). Mr Daniel Hill and Mr Peter Marshall of Canberra Contractors facilitated access to a nest tree located within the Throsby Development Area.

It is a Territory but it has been observed regularly in medium-sized parrot with total length of 40- and adjacent to Uluru Kata Tjuta National 45 cm and body mass of 90-120 g. The basic Park, and there is at least one record from colour is dull olive-green; paler on the West MacDonnell National Park. underparts. It has a red bill, blue-grey crown, pink chin, throat and foreneck, prominent yellow-green shoulder patches, bluish rump and back, and blue-green uppertail. Distribution This species has a patchy and irregular distribution in arid Australia. In the Northern Territory, it occurs in the southern section of the Tanami Desert south to Angas Downs and Yulara and east to Alice Springs. The exact distribution within this range is not well understood and it is unclear whether the species is resident in the Northern Territory. Few locations exist in the Northern Territory where the species is regularly seen, and even Known locations of the princess parrot. then there may be long intervals (up to 20 years) between records. Most records from = pre 1970; • = post 1970. the MacDonnell Ranges bioregion are during dry periods.

Was it a cordial conversation with a parrot or indirectly, as while devouring deviled eggs? The colorful ways in which avian and human lives are connected are as nuanced as they are pervasive. Perhaps this is unsurprising, given that globally, birds are held in captivity by the billions.

They daz- zle the beholder with every color in the rainbow (figure 3). They range in size from tiny pygmy parrots weighing just over 10 grams to giant macaws weighing over a kilogram. They consume a wide variety of foods, including fruit, seeds, nectar, insects, and in a few cases, flesh. They produce large repertoires of sounds, ranging from grating squawks to cheery whistles to, more rarely, long melodious songs. They inhabit a broad array of habitats, from lowland tropical rainforest to high-altitude tundra to desert scrubland to urban jungle. They range over every continent but Antarctica, and inhabit some of the most far-flung islands on the planet. They include some of the most endangered species on Earth and some of the most rapidly expanding and aggressive invaders of human-altered landscapes. Increasingly, research into the lives of wild parrots is revealing that they exhibit a corresponding variety of mating systems, communication signals, social organizations, mental capacities, and life spans.

Avitourism and Australian Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas
RESEARCH ARTICLE Avitourism and Australian Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas Rochelle Steven1*, Clare Morrison2, J. Michael Arthur3, J. Guy Castley1 1 Environmental Futures Research Institute, Griffith School of Environment, Gold Coast campus, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Queensland, 4222, Australia, 2 Griffith School of Environment, Gold Coast campus, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Queensland, 4222, Australia, 3 Australian Rivers Institute, Griffith School of Environment, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia * [email protected] Abstract Formal protected areas will not provide adequate protection to conserve all biodiversity, and are not always designated using systematic or strategic criteria. Using a systematic pro- cess, the Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA) network was designed to highlight areas of conservation significance for birds (i.e. IBA trigger species), and more recently gen- eral biodiversity. Land use activities that take place in IBAs are diverse, including consump- tive and non-consumptive activities. Avitourism in Australia, generally a non-consumptive activity, is reliant on the IBA network and the birds IBAs aim to protect. However, companies tend not to mention IBAs in their marketing. Furthermore, avitourism, like other nature- OPEN ACCESS based tourism has the potential to be both a threatening process as well as a conservation tool.
