Following are extracts from the report "Western Ground Parrot nest search at Waychinicup September and October 2001". A nestling was located but due to the lack of knowledge about what a nestling would sound like, the opportunity for following up was lost. The surveys were from 6 to 13 September and 4-17 October. Communications were not as easy in those pre-Google days as now.

Note: Another predator known to be common near the swamp was the feral cat. The dry season could have allowed cats to encroach on the islands which in a wetter year would be protected by being ringed with water.
