Parrot’s endangered list nomination threatens wind farms
A submission to list the orange-bellied parrot (Neophema chrysogaster) as critically endangered, could put an end to wind farms in Tasmania, South Australia and Victoria.
The federal Department of Environment and Heritage has nominated the parrot based on a report into bird collisions with wind farms.
