Orchard charged over parrot deaths
1 May 2007
Select Harvests, Australia’s biggest almond grower, has been charged over the shooting of threatened regent parrots near its orchards in north-west Victoria. The company, its subsidiary Kyndalyn Park and two orchard workers were charged after more than 40 dead parrots were found near the Robinvale almond farm in November. The parrots are a threatened species found along the Murray River, with only 2,400 estimated to be still living in the wild. Charges are due to be heard in the Robinvale Magistrates Court on May 22.
