25.01.2022 Despite many years of feral animal and weed control in Australia, research is still needed to find more effective means of control for many established and emerging introduced species. Bush Heritage Australia's investment in reserves help achieve positive conservation change through ongoing research and monitoring.

25.01.2022 Love it. Or lose it. Spare 15 seconds for the Night Parrot and watch this video:

20.01.2022 The threat of feral cats is on the increase in Australia, and we have evidence that there are feral cats in the location of this Night Parrot population. In addition recent drought conditions in this part of Queensland have significantly increased the risk of unmanaged wildfire. These threats of human disturbance, feral cats and unmanaged wildfire are our first priorities in protecting the Night Parrot, and one of the reasons why we need to secure this location and put conservation management plans in place right now.

20.01.2022 With green and gold feathers that blend with its surroundings, the Night Parrot is quintessentially Australian. Can our second chance to save this enigmatic bird be seen as an emblematic or something bigger? We'd like to hear your thoughts Wallabies Qantas Woolworths Suncorp Bank!

14.01.2022 Highly trained and experienced Bush Heritage Australia staff are on site right now at the planned Night Parrot Reserve to control one of the key threats; feral cats. Spotlighting, setting traps, and monitoring for feral cat activity is a daily task for Bush Heritage, but we need your support. Be part of saving the Night Parrot.

09.01.2022 As a ground dwelling, nocturnal bird Night Parrots are ideal prey for feral cats. Implementing measures to control feral predators will be one of our first actions. We also need to develop a fire management plan before summer, as the bird’s preferred spinifex habitat is particularly susceptible to unmanaged wildfire. Without action to intervene and reduce these risks the future of this small population is precarious. Please help support our mission and visit www.saveaustralia.com.au today.

08.01.2022 Did you know... Introduced plants and animals pose one of the greatest threats to the survival of many native species and the health of our ecosystems. Introduced plants cause environmental damage by displacing native plants, altering vegetation structure and disrupting natural disturbance regimes (e.g. fire). Introduced and domestic animals such as cats, foxes, livestock and rabbits prey on native species, compete for habitat and resources, and degrade habitat such that it becomes unsuitable for many native species.

08.01.2022 Seems the momentum is building the Queensland Government has today announced a $400,000 funding contribution from its Nature Assist program to support Night Parrot recovery efforts http://www.bushheritage.org.au//media/night-parrot-funding

05.01.2022 Australia's rarest bird, the Night Parrot held by Dr Steve Murphy on Bush Heritage Australia's newest Reserve planned for western Queensland. How important to you is saving a species from extinction? www.saveaustralia.com.au

05.01.2022 There are between 8 and 20 million feral cats in Australia, each consuming five to ten native animals per day. That’s 40 200 million skinks, geckos, birds and small mammals eaten each and every day by feral cats.

04.01.2022 Bird month is coming up - Will you help save the Night Parrot for future generations?

03.01.2022 Just another day at the office - Dr Steve Murphy and Rachel Barr working on Bush Heritage Australia's newest Reserve planned to protect the Night Parrot. These song meters record bird calls at Night Parrot habitat.

01.01.2022 The plight of many of Australia’s native plants and animals has progressed to the point where they are now fighting for survival. One in five of Australia’s surviving mammals and 12% of Australia’s birds are now threatened with extinction. Help save one of our most threatened species donate at www.saveaustralia.com.au.
