The plight of the Superb Parrot is a favourite of Greening Australia

It appears that Greening Australia considers the plight of the Superb Parrot important enough to warrant three posts so close together.

What is regrettable is that the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH), who have responsibility for the Saving our Species strategy, only recommend
developers leave trees with hollows for the Superb Parrot.

These are OEH’S words in response to the Springdale EIS, …”If this is not the desired option for the proponent, they can assume loss … of breeding habitat, and look for offsetsOR undertake surveys in the breeding season to determine whether these trees represent breeding habitat or not“. Which basically says, if the developer doesn’t think the trees are being used for breeding, than the trees can be removed, without any penalty. Bad luck for any species that needs a hollow for breeding.
