  • Australian Native Plants for Use in Finch Aviaries
    The Avicultural Society of New South Wales (ASNSW) (Founding in 1940 as the Parrot & African Lovebird Society of Australia) PO Box 248, Panania NSW 2213, Australia Australian Native Plants for use in Finch Aviaries (The Avicultural Review August 1986 Vol. 8 No. 8) The reason for restricting this article to native plants is simply that Australian finches show a marked preference for them, as evidenced by large numbers of red-browed and double-barred finches resident in the Canberra Botanic Gardens. These species rarely turn up in the suburbs where most of the plantings tend to be of exotics. As a planted aviary is, of necessity, outside and Australian birds make up a great majority of the finches that can be kept outside in Canberra, it would seem pointless to consider the exotic species of plants. The plants suggested have been selected primarily for the protection afforded the birds due to the dense foliage. Finches are by nature wary of wide open spaces and will appreciate being provided with the conditions that they have evolved to survive and breed in. Some of the plants are included because of their ability, when flowering, to produce an abundance of nectar which will entice insects in the cage - saving you much trouble when breeding time comes around. Although finches are seed eaters, at this time of the year, insects are a vital ingredient in the parent birds' diet in raising the young. It is suggested that species of plants are selected such that flowering coincides with the breeding season of your birds. Finally the list has been limited to plants reaching a height no greater than two metres and those species which have proved hardy in Canberra conditions.

  • TRANSLOCATION PROPOSAL Spreading Grevillea Grevillea Humifusa Olde & Marriott (Proteaceae)
    TRANSLOCATION PROPOSAL Spreading Grevillea Grevillea humifusa Olde & Marriott (Proteaceae) 1. SUMMARY Grevillea humifusa was first collected in 1968 and was considered to be a variant of Grevillea thelemanniana The name humifusa is derived from Latin and means “spread along the ground” referring to the habit of the species (Olde and Marriott 1995). It is a lignotuberous prostrate shrub with trailing stems to 3 m in length. Leaves are grey-green and the flowers are pale pink to red (Olde and Marriott 1995). Flowering occurs between June and September (Olde and Marriott 1995). The species is thought to be a both a nonsprouter and a resprouter (Olde and Marriott 1995). Seed viability ranges from 52 to 95% and there are currently 1574 seed in long term storage at the Threatened Flora Seed Centre (A. Crawford pers. comm.). G. humifusa is known from just one population with an estimated 1350 individuals. The species grows in gravelly brown loamy clay. It occurs in a highly disturbed habitat, which contains remnants of Eucalyptus loxophleba and E. wandoo woodland. The species was declared as Rare Flora in October 1996, due to threats from weed competition, inappropriate fire regimes and road and firebreak maintenance activities. In November 1998 it was ranked as Critically Endangered. The highly disturbed nature of the habitat of the only known population combined with the genetic consequences of small population size as well as the threats outlined above contributed to the ranking. The aim of this translocation proposal is to conserve the wild genetic stock of the species by establishing at least one more viable population of G.
