@@plumesofoz up until 1962 you could get imported birds into Europe, they never came in big numbers. We always kept an eye on keeping the blood lines clean .
Thanks for the comment. Interestingly the swift parrot breeders are doing an amazing job in Europe. The Blue bonnet is a wild bird never a great pet, but I say that reluctantly for someone will disagree. Cheers.
Great to hear you have seen such big flocks, I was lucky enough to get some nice photos when I was out and about in far north eastern SA. They were feeding on small bushes, only 2 but as I had never seen this particular species in the wild I was very happy. I'll have to get my photos out and see if I can match the colour variation. The next rare bird in the wild is the Major Mitchel sighted several times out Cobar way. Thanks for the lovely pictures and story.
They are in captivity though not in huge numbers. Many were exported from Australia but many did not survive. Thank goodness from future generations that Naretha Bluebonnet Parrots ( Northiella narethae) are in captivity because things going the way they are in the wild ( estimate is 2600 but personally being out in those areas that's a huge over estimate)... the climate is drying and under huge stress from all human uses of the naretha homelands AND feral animals such as camels and rabbits eat all naretha food sources and VERY importantly their nesting trees are dying. So things going way they are the only surviving naretha DNA of the future will be from captive birds 😪😪
I was surprised to hear about the painting. Funnily enough as I watched this absolutely beautiful video of the blue bonnets (such a glorious creature that I don't think I've seen nor heard about) I said it would be ideal to take still photographs of your videography and have it printed onto fabric! They'd look fantastic on quilts and things and I think the broader population here in Australia is very ignorant to the amazing creatures here and it would be a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness of these creatures and hopefully as a consequence also respect and a desire to preserve them and their habitat. God bless you and thank you so very much for sharing this incredible footage. It was a wonderful blessing! I never cease to be in awe of the Master Creator Artist who "painted" the birds in their outfits that are perfect for every season and occasion! They are dressed in royal robes perfect to be in the presence of their Creator! The King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
Some do have pets... I gather you mean as in companion birds...like inside 1:1 some keep yellow vents ( Northiella haematogaster haematogaster) and very few have pet narethas (Northiella narethae)... but there are so FEW narethas in captivity anyhow that most of those are in captivity to breed.... as so few exist in wild... the current " estimate" being 2600. If you have the right environment the bluebonnet is no more or less conducive to pet than a rosella. BTW the naretha bluebonnet was only "discovered" by Europeans in 1921 because railway workers along the TransAustralian rail road kept them as pets... in their railway huts... and an ornithology collector spotted one when he was visiting 😊
So sweet❤❤❤❤

Yes but reportedly not a very social bird as a pet.
@@plumesofoz thanks
