Canowindra (caution please drive carefully) This afternoon leaving Canowindra to head towards Orange we came across approx 60 Superb Parrots right on the side of the road just after you head out of the 50km zone.
These parrots are very special around here and there were a lot of newly fledged birds in the group. Of course they have no road sense. We moved them on but coming home they were still around in the trees above.
Please drive extra carefully in that area over the next couple of days and let anyone you know about them being there. Unfortunately 1 had already been hit and killed by a car.
It is so fantastic though to see so many young birds amongst the flock. We have a special Superb Parrot project that has been running for about 6 years in the region. If you want to find out more about these wonderful birds please contact us.
