A wildlife carer says 78 birds have been found dead or dying at Coorow in WA's Wheatbelt.

STORY: https://ab.co/4fmYbuq

Some locals believe the deaths are related to poisons spread to control mice, but the cause is yet to be determined.

Shannyn Bean, a wildlife carer in Coorow, around 260km north of Perth, said locals began finding the dead and dying birds on the town's oval and school grounds on Wednesday, June 3.

She said the birds, largely corellas and galahs, appeared normal when taken into care, only to rapidly deteriorate.

Ms Bean said she and her organisation, Bluebush Wildlife Rescue, had contacted WA's Department of Primary Industried and Regional Development (DPIRD) when the first dead birds were spotted.

🪺"The best success on record"🪺 It has been a successful breeding season for the hooded plover birds nesting at beaches around Margaret River.

The little birds lay their eggs and raise their young on beaches between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin over the warmer months.

In the past their nests have been disturbed by beach-goers, storms and predators.

But Edith Cowan University PHD student Kirrily Hastings said this season there had been ten birds who had hatched on beaches and left the nest.

"They've actually lived to be able to fly," she said

"It’s just amazing because last year they had zero success...ten [fledglings] is pretty much the best success on record.”

Now the breeding season is over, Ms Hastings said she was hopeful the birds would survive in the wild.

A new report demands urgent action as it sets out to turn the tide on Western Australia’s “biodiversity crisis”.

And of immediate concern is the rate at which the state’s native vegetation is being cleared, with 51,000 hectares already approved by the state government and another 128,000 hectares in new applications, according to the Conservation Council of WA.

On Thursday, the state’s peak conservation body will release Back from the Brink: A Protection Agenda for Nature, which sets out 36 recommendations for the government to act on.

Among the recommendations are calls to expand the Environmental Protection Authority’s strategic assessments, review the Biodiversity Conservation Act, limit the use of environmental offsets, and review the prescribed burning program in WA’s south-west.
