Following the AGM there will be a single presentation by well-known author and Honorary Professor at the ANU Dr Penny Olsen on “The Night Parrot: Still Australia’s Most Elusive Bird”.
For over a century the Night Parrot has been the Holy Grail of the bird world, attracting all manner of interest, but with no confirmed sightings of a living bird and speculation as to the species’ continued existence. Following the discovery of a living bird in 2013, how much have things changed? Make sure you come along to hear Penny tell this remarkable story.
