Good News Community<p>Helmeted honeyeaters, one of Australia’s most endangered birds, received a population boost with 26 new birds released from Healesville Sanctuary into Cardinia Creek, Victoria. These beautiful yellow-tufted birds, part of a 35-year rescue program, were carefully bred. With only 280 left in the wild, every bird counts in saving Victoria’s bird emblem from extinction.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/goodnews" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>goodnews</span></a></span> </p><p> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/GoodNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoodNews</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/Conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Conservation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/EndangeredSpecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EndangeredSpecies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/AustralianWildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AustralianWildlife</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/SaveOurBirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaveOurBirds</span></a><br><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/may/09/helmeted-honeyeater-release-healesville-sanctuary-cardinia-south-east-victoria-breed-wild-population" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/australia-news</span><span class="invisible">/2025/may/09/helmeted-honeyeater-release-healesville-sanctuary-cardinia-south-east-victoria-breed-wild-population</span></a></p>
