The Naretha Bluebonnet is a rare and localized parrot species found in a small region of Western Australia. It is a distinct subspecies of bluebonnet, characterized by its blue face and red undertail coverts, with unique patterning.
Where to spot
Restricted to a very small area in the Nullarbor Plain, Western Australia, inhabiting mallee and saltbush shrublands.
How to spot
Identify by its blue face, green body, and subtle differences in plumage pattern and intensity compared to the Eastern Bluebonnet. Its unique calls may also help identification.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours. Due to its restricted range, observation is a specific target for birdwatchers in the area. Best observed in the cooler parts of the day.
This highly localized species is named after Naretha, a railway siding where it was first discovered, highlighting its restricted range in the remote Nullarbor Plain.
