This picture of a Superb Parrot is wonderful and special. It's been on the endangered species list, for some years, but now seems to be making a comeback. I was very lucky, that day, to have had an extra shot left in my camera. The bird seemed quite happy to pose, and was quite curious. It was eating wattleseed.
It's a credit to the people of Cudal, NSW. This pretty parrot was photographed near the local airport, eating wattleseed by the cemetery. If the council hadn't grown these wattle trees, for beautification, the bird might've gone hungry.
The more wattle trees, of various sorts, planted around Cudal, the better. The locals can now see this rare bird outside their very own windows, if they plant a few wattle trees. Looking at pretty parrots outside your kitchen window is far preferable to watching footage of extinct birds on nature documentaries on television!
There is plenty of space left, in Cudal, for more wattle trees. Wattle tree seedlings can be obtained from the NSW Forestry Department at Forbes, NSW, or any good nursery.
