Thanks Tapirlord

This bird is an initial trial of a hopefully wider use of trackers to help understand Superb Parrot movements. This bird was probably a bird that raised young in the Molonglo valley last spring/summer. I will check and get back to you

As summarised above this is most probably a male that fathered chicks in the Molonglo Valley over spring/early summer 2020/2021.
