The night
parrot has been dubbed one of the world's most mysterious birds.
It is
endangered and known to exist in very small numbers in Western Queensland.
But in October,
Indigenous rangers in Western Australia's Kimberley region captured the
second-known photo of the bird in the Great Sandy Desert in just over a year.
Paruku
ranger coordinator Jamie Brown said they were keeping the exact location of
their discovery a secret, in order to protect the species.
"We're
keeping it under the mat sort of thing … because it was so popular and
everyone's looking for it, we were just a bit frightened of a big wave of
people just coming in and just looking everywhere and trying to find it,"
he said.
