There are fewer than 30 orange-bellied parrots left in the wild in Australia and none of them can afford to be single.

It is a species so endangered that just five years ago only 20 birds returned from the species' annual migration.
But 81 orange-bellied parrots have returned to Melaleuca in Tasmania's remote south-west from the mainland to breed, the largest number seen in 15 years.

Hopefully the numbers keep trending upwards over the next few years.

Fingers crossed for another good year.
