Eastern Ground Parrot
The Eastern Ground Parrot is a small, ground-dwelling bird native to the southeastern regions of Australia. It is known for its vibrant green plumage, which helps it blend into its natural habitat of heathlands and grasslands. This parrot primarily feeds on seeds, fruits, and insects, foraging on the ground rather than in trees.
This species is classified as endangered due to habitat loss and predation by introduced species like foxes and cats. Conservation efforts are underway to protect its remaining populations and restore its natural habitat, ensuring the survival of this unique bird.
