WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 5 months ago

ABSTRACT – We report on the finding of a Night Parrot (Pezoporus occidentalis) specimen injured on a fence that subsequently died and was brought to the Western Australian Museum in 2022. This specimen confirms the continuing survival of the species in the eastern Pilbara. We summarise historical and recent records of the Night Parrot in Western Australia, including a clutch of three eggs collected near Lake Way in 1976 and confirmed here as eggs of the genus Pezoporus, and update the distribution of P. occidentalis in Western Australia.
