Nine more Australian birds have been added to the threatened species list and it’s honestly so embarrassing for us humans.
Despite the hullabaloo of Easter and long weekend celebrations, it is hard to be positive about anything when the environment and its inhabitants are basically at risk of extinction.
But literally in the last week, a plethora of loveable Aussie birds were added to the threatened species list.
This includes the pink cockatoo, the painted button quail, Coxen’s fig parrot, the south-eastern hooded robin, southern whiteface, south-eastern brown treecreeper, diamond firetail, blue-winged parrot and the red goshawk (BTW our rarest bird of prey) which is reportedly already extinct in New South Wales, according to The Guardian.
You might have heard the news that an alarming number of species have been added to Australia’s threatened species list – or uplisted to more threatened
9 of the 28 new additions are birds, including the Eastern Pink Cockatoo, now listed as Endangered.
