The Conservation Regulator are continuing to investigate the poisoning of 300 corellas along the Wimmera River on Tuesday 29 April 2025.

Mixed grain had been evenly distributed throughout the water frontage area where the birds were found. These seeds were collected and tested.
After a number of enquiries, investigators are now calling for anyone who may have seen a push-along seed dispenser being used in the area in the days leading up to the incident, to come forward.

The Conservation Regulator is also appealing for anyone with CCTV footage or dashcam footage of the riverbank area on Monday 28 April 2025 to come forward.

Corellas are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975, and there are significant penalties for unlawfully hunting, taking or destroying protected wildlife, including imprisonment.

We urge anyone with information to contact us online or call 1800 333 000. You can report anonymously.
