A group of four birdwatchers from Broome has photographed Australia’s most mysterious bird, the night parrot, in Western Australia.
The sighting is all that more remarkable when you consider that the night parrot was not confirmed as still alive in Australia until three years ago, and that the photograph was taken in a patch of spinifex 2,000 kilometres from where the bird was rediscovered in Western Queensland.
While the group described the parrot as a fat budgerigar

The cubs will be cared for in the nursery for now and will move to Cat Canyon when they’re weaned and no longer require constant care.
