In late 1982, the R.A.O.U.(WA) (Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union) was making some effort to remedy the situation of no knowledge about the ground parrot in Western Australia. Where could they be found? How big was the population? It was clear that both information, and funding for survey work would be hard won.
The Western Ground Parrot (Pezoporus flaviventris) is a Western Australian endemic bird that is perilously close to extinction. This blog aims to compile an archive of information garnered between the 1800s and 2009 about this elusive bird. Up-to-date information about the Western Ground Parrot, including current conservation measures, can be found from the Friends of the Western Ground Parrot website : http://western-ground-parrot.org.au
