Pollution & Environmental degradation (Gautham)
Habitat preferences and food sources have narrowed in recent decades.
Birds forage in saltmarshes, dunes, pastures, or irrigated crops, often near water bodies.
Non-breeding habitat includes vegetated dunes, heathlands, grasslands, and saltmarshes near coasts.
Breeding birds feed on seeds and flowers of low vegetation; prefer areas 1-8 years post-fire.
Nesting in Eucalypt tree hollows or nest boxes, often live Smithton Peppermint.
Breeding occurs in Eucalypt forests, rainforests, moorland, and sedgeland in Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.
Food availability fluctuates seasonally; the parrot needs diverse feeding locations and plant species.
Habitat fragmentation reduces breeding and foraging areas in Eucalypt forests, saltmarshes, and moorlands.
the parrots roost in non-native plants like African Boxthorn due to native shrub loss.
Developed and polluted areas disrupt coastal migratory habitats and reduce foraging spaces.
Incomplete mapping of critical habitats hinders conservation efforts.
Small wild population size and low genetic diversity increase species vulnerability to habitat degradation.
