St Arnaud Box-Ironbark Region

The site lies west of the Maryborough-Dunolly Box-Ironbark Region Important Bird Area (IBA). It includes the St Arnaud Range National Park, several nature reserves and state forests, with a few small blocks of private land. It excludes other areas of woodland that are less suitable for the parrots.^[1]

The region was identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because, when flowering conditions are suitable it supports up to about 75 non-breeding swift parrots. It is also home to small populations of diamond firetails and non-breeding flame robins.^[2] Other declining woodland birds recorded from the IBA include brown treecreepers, speckled warblers, hooded and pink robins, crested bellbirds and black honeyeaters.^[1]
