Swiftly Sweetly

Less than 300 swift parrots remain in the wild and they are listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Redlist.

When composing this piece I wanted to highlight the parrot as an innocent bystander to the impacts that are threatening its species. Predation from introduced species, habitat loss and global warming are the main concerns that are causing a decline in their numbers.

I do wonder if this amazing parrot will be around for much longer.
