'Extinct' Night Parrot Spotted Alive For The First Time In 100 Years

Even though in the last years the extinction animal list just got bigger and bigger, some great news are circulating through social media as a parrot species thought to be extinct has been rediscovered. Some photos of the mysterious night parrot, have left the birdwatchers ‘elated,’ the Guardian reported.

While back in 2015 there have been some rumours regarding the sight of the elusive bird, in Queensland, this time the night parrot was captured on camera and it is the first time in almost a century when the rare bird is seen in Western Australia. The night parrot is a small bird native to Australia. Known as one of the most elusive bird in the world, the greenish parrot is mottled with brown, black, and yellow, and lives a predominantly nocturnal life.Image credits: Bruce Greatwich
