From Greenfleet (23/7/24)…
Growing hope for the world’s fastest parrot
This small, green bird, with red, blue and yellow patches on its head and shoulders, weighs a mere 65 grams and is around 25 cm long. The Swift Parrot is the longest-migrating parrot in the world, traveling up to 5,000km between breeding and wintering grounds.
Greenfleet restores legally protected habitat for native Australian wildlife, and one species that benefits from our work is the Swift Parrot.
The Swift Parrot is a critically endangered migratory bird, found only on the east coast of Australia. It migrates from Tasmania through Victoria and NSW up to Queensland annually in the winter months.
Greenfleet is planting trees to create critical habitat for the Swift Parrot’s migration along the east coast of Australia.
