Join ECA Vic for our AGM and a screening of the documentary Malleefowl — The most unlikely of birds.

Screening: Malleefowl — The most unlikely of birds

Watch the trailer here.

There is nothing ordinary about malleefowl.

Rarely seen or heard, their enigmatic lives unfold in some of Australia's most unforgiving landscapes. They neither sit on their eggs, nor raise their chicks. Instead they build a giant mound out of sand from which their young will emerge.

They truly are the most unlikely of birds.

For countless generations they have shaped the mallee dunes, performing the cycle of mound-building, egg-laying, and birth under a harsh outback sun. But the world around them is changing quickly, and the smoke of devastating wildfires fills the mallee sky.

Now it is up to those who love malleefowl to discover the bird's secrets; to connect their dwindling populations across fragmented lands; and to help ensure the ancient cycle of this extraordinary bird continues.

Malleefowl — the most unlikely of birds brings you into the world of these incredible animals, and tells the tale of the conservationists and scientists working to save them from an uncertain future. Produced in partnership with nature connection charity Remember The Wild.
