Critically endangered regent honeyeater pair found in gippsland area by wildlife charity
Updated
A pair of endangered wild regent honeyeater chicks discovered in the gippsland region have been named.
The two endangered species were spotted in the area’s Gippsland Wildlife Conservation Area by Wildlife Services NSW.
It is hoped the pair, which have been seen in the area for more than a year, can once more be reared, while the department also plans to develop a reintroduction programme to find other wild regents and provide funding for their reintroduction.
The pair, named after the female, were born in 2011 as part of a breeding programme between The Royal Society of New Zealand and an Australian wildlife conservation charity.
The pair, which have to be at least one year old to em카지노nter breeding, would have 경주안마an average life span of between six to nine months.
Wildlife Services NSW conservation officers are now keeping an eye on them.
The first is a male, aged between two and four years, who has a wingspan of about 3.7 inches.
A female, aged seven, has a wingspan of 1.8 inches and her body measure 14mm wide.
The department plans to release the chicks when they are as young as one year.
