Sat, 05 Mar 2011 05:30:12 +0100 (News) - This ’touching image’ of two orange-bellied parrots won the category for critically endangered migrating birds, according to a World’s Rarest Birds contest statement. The small parrot breeds only in southwestern Tasmania (see map) and migrates to southeastern Australia in the winter, where agriculture and development are crowding out its habitat. Probably fewer than 150 animals remain in the wild, according to BirdLife International.
