The authorities have officially committed to the research funding we requested for the protection of our small birds. It is a relief to see these concerns acknowledged and addressed through a concrete plan. I appreciate everyone who stayed focused on this goal until we reached such a meaningful outcome.

Urgent action to avoid the extinction of the Fairy Wrens by funding research
Final supporters
Since the year 2000 the ravens have moved eastward from the country in search of food and now most of our beautiful fairy wrens and small birds have been eaten and the response from the authorities is that they are creating havens for them along the NSW Coast. But this is futile as the ravens have every street in every suburb of Sydney and coast line under surveillance and can spot prey from a long distance in the sky, so we have to find a way for the government to implement research and remove these ravens to stop the killing of the fairy wrens and other small birds, and the further extinction of this species.
Now that the small birds have been diminished they are going after pigeons.
The conservation of this species of birds is paramount and we need your support.
Please lobby the Government and as many people as appropriate, to support funding for research for scientists through technology to make this strategy possible, in order to avoid the extinction of this beautiful species of bird, and make it known so that the sighting of our wonderful birds will be restored hopefully within a few years.
Please support the fairy wrens with your signature.

I miss the little birds. I’ve created habitat for their safety but the ravens have picked off every little bird within kms. I often find dismembered little birds and chicks in my water fountain
I have been aware of the carnage to fledgings, corrwongs. and crows coming in raiding parties the smaller birds don't have a chance.
These little birds bring so much joy and beauty they need to be saved and have disappeared from my area in the Blue Mountains
I had a thriving colony in my Leichhardt back yard, along with silver eye finches, that was decimated about 8 years ago. Didn’t connect that with the arrival of ravens, but can join the dots now. Pigeon population has also plummeted, no more swallows either. Heartbreaking
When I first arrived in Australia in 1987 the fairy wrens were everywhere. The Indian Minors and Ravens are taking over and need to culled.
agree
GOD-willing, soon fairy wrens will be saved.

I have noticed this happening over the past ten to fifteen years. They clear out an area, wait a few years and then return. Loss of habitant with people having 'modern gardens' and the push for cramped housing with little or no backyards has also been a huge influence in the decline of small bird life.
