Aviary visit - come meet the Naretha Bluebonnet Parrot of Australia

January 22, 2021 • Birdman Dad • Season 3 • Episode 3

This episode the BirdCast team is taking an aviary visit to see for themselves the beautiful and unique Naretha Bluebonnet parrot ( Northiella narethae) aka the "Narrie". The naretha has been a bird of concern for many years and is currently listed as Near Threatened in the Australian state of South Australia and Fauna Priority 4 in Western Australia - which indicates fauna which is rare, near threatened and other species in need of monitoring. How the naretha bluebonnet came to be in today's private aviaries is a fascinating story in itself and one well worth telling!
So if you enjoy aviary visits, and hearing about how other backyard birdkeepers care for birds you are sure to enjoy this episode!
