Parrots and Cockatoos are one of the most recognisable groups of birds in Australia. They are intelligent, noisy and beautiful but some of them are amongst our most threatened birds.
Join us on November 18th at 7:30 PM AEDT (6:30 PM QLD, 4:30 PM WA) for our next ‘Your Birds on Farms’ webinar, where ornithologist and Lockyer-Toowoomba Birds on Farms Coordinator, Scot McPhie, will take us on a guided tour of all of our Parrots and Cockatoos.
Scot will guide us through their evolution, classification and conservation – and explain to us just why they are so special, and what we can do to help conserve them.
Scot McPhie is the Project Coordinator for the Lockyer-Toowoomba Birds on Farms Project – the newest Birds on Farms project – and the first in Queensland. Scot has a Degree in Anthropology and Ecology, and a Graduate Diploma in Ornithology. He is a life-long bird lover. He previously worked for the Department of Industry, Sciences and Resources before starting with Birdlife in January this year. He is on the Committee of the Darling Downs Environment Council and is actively involved in environmental campaigns around habitat protection. His main interest in birds is their conservation and evolution, particularly in regard to parrots and cockatoos. He is also a keen film maker and has amassed a library of around 100 hours of footage of birds.
