Hi,I’ve been following the reports of swift parrots coming in from the mainland and would ask anyone that sees swift parrots to please check the birds for leg bands. I’ve been researching swift parrots in their Tasmanian breeding range for the last two years and there should be quite a few banded swift parrots getting around. If you note a leg band on a bird, please let me know where you found it, whether it was foraging or not (and the tree species it was using) and if possible, a photograph of the bird/band would be great. The leg bands are pretty small, so don’t worry if you can’t discern the numbers, but please report the sighting nonetheless (my contact information is in my email signature). You can find more information about my research at: http://people.anu.edu.au/robert.heinsohn/index.php/current-students/dejan-stojanovic http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2012/s3412760.htm Thanks. D
