FGA supports orange-bellied parrot program but condemns overreach of minister

Field & Game Australia fully supports the captive breeding and release of orange-bellied parrots, and has previously had involvement with the release program. The parrots have been released successfully for the past five years at Connewarre Wetlands – yet this year the ministers deem a closure of the site to be neccessary. FGA could have supported a strategic closure of particular points close to release sights – but the closure of the entire SGR is heavy handed and a gross overreach.
