                        Help protect parrots and other wildlife from death by pesticides in Australia.

                        Little corellas, or short-billed corellas, are playful birds. The members of this white cockatoo subspecies are extremely social and loves to spend time with members of their flocks, even to the point of mischievousness, getting into all kinds of silly shenanigans together.

                        Or, they did. Until hundreds of them started showing up dead in New South Wales, Australia. The likely culprit? Poisoning by illicit pesticide use.

                        So far, no one knows which pesticides were used or where exactly. What we do know is that, according to the Environmental Protection Authority of New South Wales, pesticide misuse is illegal. Punishments for misuse include fees of up to $2 million for corporations or $500,000 for individuals.

                        Australia is one of the most biodiverse countries in the entire world. Approximately 46% of the birds and 69% of the mammals in Australia only live there — nowhere else. Upwards of 1.75 million animal, plant, and microorganism species can be found there. So it's imperative that authorities act quickly to protect other populations from possible pesticide poisoning!

                        Luckily, government officials are investigating these mass deaths. But we have to make sure they keep going until they find out who is responsible and hold them accountable. Sign the petition to demand that the Australian government identify the culprit(s) behind the mass poisoning of sweet little corella birds!
