Swift parrots breed in the nesting hollows in big old trees in Tasmania, then fly north in winter. In search of nectar, they cross Bass Strait in small groups. When there’s lots of eucalyptus flowers, they congregate in huge colourful flocks – but in dry years they have to travel far and wide.
Habitat destruction means the fastest parrot in the world is on a rapid path to extinction.

Indiscriminate logging
I know that an area a number of months ago was razed for logging despite 10 yrs of data on swift parrot. You might think that if it is not made public we wont notice but we do
Why do we have to destroy so much habitat just because we can. Other creatures matter not just man.

The destruction of habitat and species is the action of an insane civilisation!

Please protect habitat for these precious birds
Swift parrots vitally need tall old growth gum trees or they would perish, environment laws must be robust to protect wildlife.
We depend on a healthy environment for our very existence both physically and psychologically. Once in my area there were frogs- long gone. Natural wetlands replaced with those artificial do not replicate the same environment.
History is watching how your all handling the environment, the people have the impression that your all taking bribes to turn your backs on the sensitive environment to allowing the mining and logging companies and the like to grab what they can… Hey you can have a let them eat cake approach to the people and fill your bank accounts, BUT remember the Bastille (French Revolution ‘gyatines’ and stuff) the people have risen up against crooked govt before, history repeats… CONSIDER THIS, if I’m thinking this and I’m just one a MANY, what are you doing that’s causing me to think this way??? Save life kind now, WE won’t let you drop the ball on this, we don’t have faith in you, prove us wrong. Actually get it for a change. The people.
Once a animal becomes extinct, you can’t bring them back. We need to protect them and save them before it’s too late!
Please understand that our true wealth rests upon a healthy vibrant ecology, and act appropriately. Protect our environment so we have a and beautiful viable base upon which to stand.
Please Protect Our Beautiful Native Parrots from extinction , these Swift Parrots need help , Fast !
Don’t kill the Birdy’s homes. Kill the extravagantly terrible way humans conduct themselves!
We need to protect all creatures but the endangered ones are on the brink due to human activities especially the logging of our forests in Tasmanian & logging a n old growth tree with tree hollows critical for nesting must stop. Please raise the loss of our wildlife and how you must strengthen not weaken environmental laws with your party leader.
We need to save our beautiful birds
Please help to prevent the extinction of the Swift Parrot. Soon it will be too late and future generations need to see and know the existence of this beautiful creature.
If we don’t do something serious now we will loose the colour & sound of the bush.
Strong environmental laws need putting place today not tomorrow
Stop logging intact ecosystem… focus on plantations or regrowth forest. All hollow bearing trees should be retained, as they are often of poor log value.
Retain ALL hollow bearing trees in native forests
Thanks
