Superb Parrots are listed as Vulnerable in Australia, populations have declined due to clearing of their preferred River Red Gum and Box habitat.
Males are brilliant green with a yellow face and red throat collar; females are duller green.
They're nomadic, following blossoming eucalypts across the inland woodlands of southeastern Australia.
Conservation programs use specialized large nest boxes to support Superb Parrots in remnant woodlands. Backyard attraction is rare.
Specialized parrot nest boxes (large, deep) 6+ m up on mature eucalypts in suitable habitat.
Mature River Red Gums or Box-Ironbark forest. Backyards rarely qualify.
Native grass seeds and eucalypt blossoms; they're not feeder birds.
Don't expect them in dense suburbs; they need rural inland eucalypt woodland.
A threatened Australian parrot of inland southeastern eucalypt woodlands.
Patchy resident populations in River Red Gum and inland Box-Ironbark woodlands.
Open eucalypt woodland with mature trees containing nesting hollows. They forage in adjacent grasslands and farmland.
This species needs a box larger or differently-shaped than our three standard sizes. We make these as one-off prints to the published nest dimensions, with all the species-specific requirements baked in.
Endangered AU species; boxes deployed by recovery programs in NSW Riverina region.
