The Orange-bellied Parrot – one of just three migratory parrots – is arriving on mainland Australia from its Tassie breeding grounds.
Where most of them go is still a mystery – and we’re on a mission to find out!
Stay tuned 💚

The 2025 duck hunting season has begun. We are deeply concerned for this season due to ongoing declines in eastern Australian waterbird populations.
We will continue to monitor wetlands and won’t give up our decades-long fight to end native duck hunting.
