In Southern Tasmania logging of critically endangered Swift Parrot habitat continues, with work expanding to a new coupe on the banks of the Esperance river
The Swifties breed in lutruwita every summer and migrate up the East coast and through the central Vic/NSW plains to South East Queensland for the Winter
With only around 300 left in the wild it is vital that the last old growth forest in Swift Parrot breeding areas be left standing to provide nesting sites and forage
