The Endangered Swift Parrot

Published 12 September 2023
A bird super rare stands in the wild green.
Flying in the sky, its feathers are supreme.
Let’s listen to its sound,
And where in the world it is found.
For the swift parrot is a treasure rare,
A symbol of nature's beauty and care.
May its wings forever grace the sky,
And its calls echo its desperate cry.
The swift parrot soars on high,
A flash of green against the sky.
With wings that beat so fast and true,
The parrot's flight is a wondrous view.
In Tasmania's forests, the parrot nests,
With mates and little ones, it rests.
But danger lurks, as habitat shrinks,
And the parrot's future hangs on the brink.
Let us protect this feathered friend,
So that its flight may never end.
Let us preserve its forest home,
And ensure the parrot's future is known.
