There are some amazing birds of Guanaba Forest in the Tamborine Mountain Escarpment, some vulnerable, threatened and endangered.
A place of many different forest types, the Escarpment provides an array of habitat for a variety of bird species as well as other significant fauna within the South East Queensland region.
Some of the bird species in the Escarpment face regional population decline, while some face national population decline. Recognition of the need to protect their habitat to secure their numbers is needed. Turning recognition into action is vital.
Here are some of the bird species facing population decline living within the Escarpment.
Grey Goshawk (Accipiter novaehollandiae)
Status:
1. IUCN report: Population decreasing.
The Grey Goshawk is a medium-sized raptor who comes in two different colour morphs.
They’re found in coastal areas in Australia’s northern and eastern spaces. The grey morph is more commonly found along the east coast in thick, sub-tropical forests.
Glossy Black-cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami)
Status:
1. Queensland species status: Vulnerable.
2. Federal species status: Endangered.
3. IUCN report: Population decreasing.
The Glossy Black-Cockatoo is the smallest of the 5 black cockatoos. Its colours are brown-black head and body, with red or orange in their tail.
Glossy Black-Cockatoos love Allocasuarina, relying on the fruit of this tree for food. They also nest and breed in tree hollows.
Land clearance has affected their habitat, which threatens the numbers of this beautiful bird.
Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus)
Status:
1. IUCN species status: Near-threatened.
2. IUCN report: Population decreasing.
The Black-necked Stork (also called the Jabiru) is the only stork found in Australia. They have black and white plumage, a glossy dark green and purple neck and black bill … a very distinctive bird.
The Jabiru is found in wetlands, swamps, water pools and more permanent bodies of water.
Albert’s Lyrebird (Menura alberti)
Status:
1. Queensland species status: Near-threatened.
2. IUCN species status: Near-threatened.
3. IUCN report: Decreasing.
The Albert’s Lyrebird is the smaller of the two Lyrebirds (the other being the Superb Lyrebird).
They’re found in a very small area of sub-tropical rainforest near the NSW and Queensland state border.
They don’t have the vocal range of the Superb Lyrebird, but their songs are still quite beautiful and recognisable.
Plumed Frogmouth (Podargus ocellatus plumiferus)
Status:
1. Queensland species status: Vulnerable.
The Plumed Frogmouth is found in Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.
They live in sub-topical and moist lowland and mountain forests.
They’re considered a difficult bird to study because of their elusive nature. Numbers are threatened by land clearing, timber harvesting and fire.
Black-breasted Button-quail (Turnix melanogaster)
Status:
1. Queensland species status: Vulnerable.
2. IUCN species status: Near-threatened.
3. IUCN report: Population decreasing.
The Black-breasted Button-quail is a rare Button-quail found only in Australia. It is not a true quail.
This little ground dweller is found in areas that see rainfall of between 770 and 1200 mm per year. Fragmentation of habitat has impacted seriously on their numbers.
Protecting the habitat of these amazing Australian birds is vital to their future.
