The world's fastest parrot is hurtling towards extinction in Australia and scientists suggest there may be just 500 left.
Scientists from the Australian National University have published a new, more precise population assessment for the swift parrot, which can reach remarkable speeds of almost 90km/h.
It's in the same ballpark as a 2020 assessment that warned there might only be 300 - dramatically lower than the previous estimate of a couple of thousand.
