About -

The distinctive pink throated Princess Parrot is an iconic desert species which occurs across Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South Australia. It is highly nomadic and experiences population fluctuations, likely in response to changes in environmental conditions in its arid habitat. The Princess Parrot is listed nationally Vulnerable (under the EPBC Act) and due to its elusive nature and the remote areas it occupies, very little is known about its ecology and potential threats, making it difficult to develop effective management actions to improve its status.

Songbird is a crafts-based social enterprise established to raise awareness and support the conservation of Australia's threatened bird species and their native habitats, whilst creating sustainable and ethical job opportunities for Songbird's artisan makers.
