By Birding-Aus, on March 25th, 2017% In an article in The Weekend Australian I address the irony of cashed up birders being rewarded with a visit to the Pullen Pullen Night Parrot Reserve in return for a $25,000 donation, while others face a $353,000 fine for entering more than 250,000ha of potential Night Parrot habitat that has been locked up by . . . → Read More: Cash for Night Parrot
