Western Ground Parrot
The Western Ground Parrot is a critically endangered bird species native to the southwestern region of Australia. It is known for its vibrant green plumage, which helps it blend into its natural habitat of heathland and scrub. This parrot primarily feeds on seeds, particularly from native plants, and is known for its distinctive call.
These birds are relatively small, measuring about 25 to 30 centimeters in length. The Western Ground Parrot has faced significant threats due to habitat loss, predation by introduced species, and environmental changes. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this unique species and its remaining habitats.
