In exciting news, we have recently been able to photograph the Eastern Ground Parrot (EGP) that lives at Sunshine Coast Airport! 🦜 ![]()

The EGP is elusive and while we have previously recorded its calls, this is the first time one has posed for us, recorded in the Wallum Heath Management Area (WHMA) close to our old runway. One of only three nocturnal parrots and classified as ‘vulnerable’ in Queensland, the EGP’s distribution ranges between the Fraser-Cooloola Coast to the Sunshine Coast. There are approximately 16 (and counting!) known individuals at the Sunshine Coast Airport, with a total 4000 individuals recorded in Australia in 2012. ![]()

Our team at Sunshine Coast Airport continue work to preserve the WMHA as a habitat for the EGP. ![]()
