Swift Parrot  (Critically endangered).

  (Victorian FFG Threatened List 2023)

During March, the Swift Parrot can be observed in Victoria after their annual migration from Tasmania to Victoria. Feeding is mainly in eucalypt forests and woodlands, particularly the box ironbark woodlands of central Victoria. Areas used by the Swift Parrot can change differently from one year to the next and small remnant patches down to 10 ha can be significant habitat.

See the March bio-calendar to see what some of our native plants and animals are doing this month.
