Quiz Outcomes

1.
Swift parrot (Lathamus discolor)
Image Source
Congratulations! The festive threatened species most like you is the swift parrot.Conservation status in NSW: EndangeredDonning bright colours - greens, reds, and a dash of yellow - you're the life of the party and never too far away from a karaoke machine or make-shift microphone (hairbrush, festive bonbon or chicken leg will do.) Like the swift parrot's signature kik-kik-kik call, or flute-like chirping, you've got vocals to take on Mariah herself.You also like to head away for silly season, with a preference to ring in the new year in a relaxing place with moderate temps. Did someone say Tassie trip??
2.
Myrtle-leaf mistletoe (Muellerina myrtifolia)

Congratulations! The festive threatened species most like you is the myrtle-leaf mistletoe.Conservation status in NSW: Endangered You big softy! The tradition of hanging mistletoe in the house goes back to the times of the ancient Druids and has been known to inspire a few romantic moments between lovers.The generous myrtle-leaf mistletoe gives ‘gifts’ to many other species, providing food to native birds such as honeyeaters, lorikeets, bowerbirds, emus and cockatoos.
3.
Southern bell frog (Litoria raniformes)
Image Source
Congratulations! The festive threatened species most like you is the southern bell frog.Conservation status in NSW: EndangeredThe southern bell frog was born ready for the festive season. Usually a vivid pea-green, the frog breeds during summertime – possibly after one too many insects at the end-of-year party.They thrive near bodies of water, and you can guarantee they will be spending the summer break kicking back in the water!
4.
Red-crowned toadlet (Pseudophryne australis)
Image Source
Congratulations! The festive threatened species most like you is the festively dressed red-crowned toadlet.Conservation status in NSW: Vulnerable The red-crowned toadlet would win best-dressed at any silly season party, donning a red crown straight out of the classic party crackers we all burst open at lunch. These fancy folk are homebodies, and like to shelter under rocks, leaf litter and thick vegetation.
5.
Manning River turtle (Myuchelys purvisi)
Image Source
Congratulations! The festive threatened species most like you is the Manning River turtle.Conservation status: EndangeredMuch like the Manning River turtle, you're likely to be found waterside across the silly season - whether it be waterfalls, flowing creeks, water parks or any fast-moving bodies of shallow water. You also live by the 'it's more fun in the sun' motto and can be found basking under the sun working on that summer glow. When it comes to loading up your plate at the festive feast, you'll eat just about anything, and the easiest food to access is your preference. After all, you aren't out there trying to work for your food.
6.
Persoonia hindii

The festive threatened species most like you is the persoonia hindii.Conservation status: EndangeredMuch like the persoonia hindii, you love to stay close to home during the festive season and the most socialising you're down for is with your immediate family. To be honest, your family are really the only people you like year-round - the less face time, the better!You're also team forest or woodlands over the bustling Bondi Beach any day, preferring to chill up in a higher altitude where the air is cleaner, the crowds are thinner, and the celebrations are more intimate.
7.
Glossy black-cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami)
Image Source
Congratulations! The festive threatened species most like you is the glossy black-cockatoo.Conservation status in NSW: VulnerableWith its conspicuous and jolly scarlet-red tail and the yellow embellishes on the females, this festive-coloured bird wouldn’t be out of place on the front of a Christmas card, and like you, is sure to be one of the best dressed at the party.Like you, these birds love spending quality time with their partner (they form life-long bonds with their mates!) and spending the day snacking on your fav food. For the glossy black-cockatoo, it's the seed cones of allocasaurina trees!
8.
