Eurasian Hoopoe Eurasian Hoopoe aka Common Hoopoe Females have three to six clutches per brood with no more than three broods per year.įlock sizes of Bourke’s parakeet can reach up to over one hundred birds in one flock. They have been spotted in Central Australia, northern portions of South Australia, and select areas in Western Australia.īourke’s parakeet likes to make its nest in decaying wood that can be found at the bottom of a hollow in a tree. The Bourke’s parakeet is a nomadic bird species that follows waterways across its native continent of Australia.

This article will cover X of these uniquely stunning birds. Some of the most beautiful birds are those with bright pink feathers. Recommended citation for factsheets for more than one species: BirdLife International (2023) IUCN Red List for birds.Though it would seem like a lousy survival technique, many birds we know and love are feathered from head to toe in bright colors. Stable Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident):īirdLife International (2023) Species factsheet: Cacatua leadbeateri. For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). Justification of Red List category This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence 30% decline over ten years or three generations).
