Second innings: How THIS mysterious bird thought to be extinct, was found living in Australia’s wild

After decades of near-mythical status, the night parrot has been rediscovered in Western Australia’s Ngururrpa Indigenous Protected Area. Indigenous rangers and scientists, using acoustic recorders, located a population estimated at 40 to 50 birds. These parrots rely on mature spinifex grass for shelter, facing threats from wildfires, predators, and human activities, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts.
