The Maryborough-Dunolly Box-Ironbark Region includes all the Box-Ironbark forest and woodland remnants used as winter feeding habitat by Swift Parrots in the Maryborough-Dunolly region of central Victoria, south-eastern Australia. The 900 km2 region was identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) and includes several nature reserves, state parks and state forests, with only a few small blocks of private land. It excludes adjacent areas of woodland that are less suitable for the parrots.[1]
The region was identified as an IBA because, when the flowering conditions are suitable it supports up to about 250 non-breeding Swift Parrots. It is also home to a small population of Diamond Firetails.[2] Other woodland birds recorded from the IBA include Painted Honeyeaters, Brown Treecreepers, Speckled Warblers, Hooded Robins, Crested Bellbirds and Gilbert's Whistlers, with migrant Black Honeyeaters and Pink Robins seen occasionally.[1]
