Ghost Bird

for the Night Parrot

Critically Endangered

By Deegan, age 7

Entered 9 August 2026

The Night Parrot is a close relative to the Eastern Ground Parrot. They are very rare and are one of the most mysterious birds on Earth. I chose the Night Parrot because it's very rare and endangered. Not many people have heard or even seen night parrots. Losing this bird will silence its call and a part of Indigenous culture will also be silenced. This would be very sad.
