10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 24, 2012

Are you going to be in Australia this weekend? You may even see a tagged ibis, like we did on our trip to Sydney earlier this year. This bird “040″ had been banded at about 5 weeks old in 2005 and given a tag as an adult in 2008 within Centennial Park. This survey started in 2003 and needs your help!

In Australia, ornithologists have finally gotten their hands on a Night Parrot , the first such capture in more than 100 years. By tagging the Parrot and monitoring the area with remote cameras, scientists hope to learn more about this species and how to keep it safe. The bird is so rare and elusive that it was thought to be extinct.

With the aid of solar panel and a battery a 5 gram tag can be fitted to a bird and the information gained will enable the researchers to follow the species as it makes its journey through remote areas. Once again these tiny 5 gram satellite tags were deployed and since 2011 they have tracked the incredible journeys of several Cuckoos.
