Sensation in Australia: Extremely Rare Birds Found Alive That Were Considered Extinct!

In Australia, there was a sensation in the world of ornithology: night parrots, considered extinct, were discovered in a remote corner of the country. This rare species, known for its secretiveness, has long remained a mystery to scientists.

Night parrots are among the most understudied birds on the planet. They are active only at night, and their habitats - arid and hard-to-reach areas - made them practically invisible to researchers. The last reliable observations of these birds date back to more than 200 years ago. Scientists used sound traps to record the presence of the birds, and then with the help of thermal imagers and cameras discovered these amazing feathered creatures.

Observations confirmed that night parrots not only haven't gone extinct but also form a thriving population. Now scientists are focused on studying their habitat and developing protection programs for this unique species. These birds, hiding for so many years, have become a symbol of hope for ornithologists, reminding us that nature sometimes keeps its secrets much longer than we expect.
