LIVE MALLEEFOWL CAMERA
This camera is operating during daylight hours and therefore you might see a message saying “ This camera is missing in action” if you try and watch outside of that timeframe. Come back between 6:00am & 4:00pm CST (but the hours will increase as the days lengthen).
ABOUT THIS CAMERA
The first Malleefowl Live Camera was installed in the ‘Mallee Exhibit’ at the Adelaide Zoo in 2017 & was a collaboration between NMRG & Adelaide Zoo. The exhibit housed two Malleefowl as well as numerous other mallee birds. Whilst the live camera was interesting in observing Malleefowl behavior, the Malleefowl were in captivity & their behavior modified accordingly.
The advent of more affordable satellite access paved the way for a live camera to go fully off grid and the long-term goal was always to do just that. Toward the end of 2022 the Zoo camera was decommissioned, equipment was purchased & the project for a remote Malleefowl live camera began.
