ORANGE-BELLIED PARROTS:
Orange-bellied parrots are a critically endangered species found in south eastern coastal habitats of Victoria, and south western Tasmania where they migrate for breeding. They are only slightly larger than a budgie, and spend a lot of time on or near the ground. With only 50 or so individuals currently in the wild, captive breeding populations such as that at Moonlit Sanctuary in Victoria, Australia, are crucial in keeping this species away from extinction. These captive bred birds can then be used to boost the wild populations and increase genetic diversity.
