Golden-shouldered Parrots Conservation

 

 


Our Golden-Shouldered Parrot Artwork Raffle was won by D Gray from Singleton NSW. Second prize was won by M Veitch from Brisbane QLD.

When the raffle closed, the winning tickets were drawn at the Northern Avian Conference in Proserpine QLD on 10th June 2018.

First Prize was a unique artwork featuring a pair of Golden-shouldered Parrots hand-painted by Jay Christensen on an Australian hardwood base fashioned by Graham Pertzel. Donated by Beenleigh Bird Breeders Association, (now the SEQ Bird Club).

Second prize was a polymer clay necklace and matching earrings in the shape of Golden-shouldered Parrots hand-sculpted by Jenny and Fred Bohner's Parrot Jewellery and Paintings, and donated by Robyn and Lyle Holmes.

Tickets were $1 each and the raffle raised $1589 all of which was forwarded to Artemis Station for the purchase of more steel feeders on Artemis Station on Cape York, as well as the continued supply of budgie-mix seed for the supplementary winter feeding of wild Golden-shouldered Parrots and endangered Black-throated Finches.

Promoter: Beenleigh Bird Breeders Association Inc. (now the SEQ Bird Club Inc.)

You can also donate money to the Seed Appeal at our monthly meetings. A receipt will be issued to you. All funds are sent by this club to Artemis Station on Cape York. Thank you for your conservation action.
