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

🔊 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

John from Cygnet was arrested for defending Swift parrot habitat. We’ve been calling for machines to be evicted from these forests in Southern Tasmania. Shamefully, @jeremyrockliff & @tanyaplibersek continues to sanction the logging and oversee the loss of Swift parrot breeding habitat. Join us to keep raising the 🚨 alarm.

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

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

Good news for swifties! Swift parrot chicks were successfully fledged in nearly 70% of nests monitored by the Landscape Recovery Foundation in the most recent breeding season. 🐣 Swift Parrots breed in Tasmania during spring/summer – during this time, these critically endangered birds have to compete with a number of species for tree hollows and food. With support from the Australian Government’s Saving Native Species program, the Landscape Recovery Foundation have been managing glider predation
