The Wildcare Friends of the Orange-bellied Parrot (OBP) group works across the OBP’s range with a focus on Tasmania.
The objectives of the group are to:
- Assist with the monitoring program at Melaleuca (SW Tasmania).
- Conduct migration and winter surveys in various locations from Strahan to Arthur River – read about our August 2022 Winter Migration Survey.
