June is the month when Brolgas in Australia's south are making their way to the breeding grounds. In the north they're heading out with their new chicks to join massive flocks where new mates pair up for life. But there's a dark shadow hovering over our Brolgas with their numbers fast dwindling in Australia's southern states. More

The Brolga is sensitive to habitat impacts and changes such as loss of shallow marshes, which they use for breeding and altered flows of waterways.

The Brolga occurs throughout northern and eastern Australia and in limited areas of New Guinea. The Brolgas in northern and southern Australia can be regarded as discrete populations, but are no longer recognized as distinct subspecies. No systematic, range-wide surveys of the species have been undertaken, and so populations estimates and trends are poorly understood. The total population may range from 20,000-100,000 and is probably stable overall. The species still occupies much of its historic range. More
