Very Short Film Festival

Tasmania’s Orange Bellied Parrot, the worlds most endangered parrot, is a brilliant little bird staring into the abyss of extinction. Five years ago there were only 17 known birds in the wild. But it seems they are making a comeback.

This film shines a light on the people behind the parrot, the people that refuse to let this bird go extinct - the conservation scientists of the program and the small army of incredibly dedicated volunteers. We will follow the birds from the innovative captive breeding program in Hobart where they are raised and prepared for a life in the wild. Approximately 50 young birds will be flown in spring to a release site at Melaleuca in the Tasmanian World Heritage Area, the parrot’s only know wild breeding site.

This is the story of how a small team of scientists and volunteers are working together. Often in extreme conditions to breed, release, monitor and provide the best possible conditions to give this little bird every chance of surviving as a species into the future.
