Extinct night parrot found in WA

It must be an incredibly exciting experience to see a creature listed as endangered or thought to actually be extinct. That is what happened though when a keen group of bird watchers in Western Australia stumbled across the elusive and thought to be extinct night parrot. Previously thought to only be present in two areas of Queensland Australia a group of 4 twitchers saw and photographed the gorgeous green and yellow parrot flying out of spinifex after hearing it's calls. It's been 100 years since they were seen there so this sighting is terribly significant. Thought to be extinct the discovery in 2013 of this critically endangered parrot in south west Qld was very exciting but to have firm evidence of the bird living in another state is wonderful news in a world where such events are very rare.
