In the last of our 'Bass Strait Highway' mini-series, the Tweet of the Week was the Orange Bellied Parrot

Congratulations to , XXXX who recognised one of our rarest birds.

It's only a little bigger than a Budgie... And it's a beautiful emerald green on the back, which fades to yellow on the front and eventually to orange on the belly.

It's a lovely little parrot, but it's at great risk of extinction - not least of which due to degradation of its winter feeding grounds.

In 2015, the Orange-bellied Parrot's breeding population was just 17, with only three females. However, intensive conservation efforts appear to be paying off... hopes are high this season for as many as 200 birds heading north across Bass Strait.
