Ground Parrot
4 sections
The Ground Parrot (*Pezoporus wallicus*) is a shy, ground-dwelling parrot endemic to Australia, and one of only four ground-dwelling parrots in the world. This distinctive species is found in fragmented populations along coastal heathlands of southeastern Australia, Tasmania, and southern Western Australia. Its secretive nature and cryptic colouration make it extremely difficult to observe in the wild.
