The Western ground parrot (Pezoporus flaviventris) is a critically endangered species of parrot endemic to Western Australia and is a close relative of the eastern ground parrot (Pezoporus wallicus) and the somewhat more distantly related and mysterious night parrot (Pezoporus occidentalis). It is one of the world's rarest birds with about 40 individuals remaining. Molecular DNA evidence suggests the western ground parrot split from ground parrots of eastern Australia around 2 million years ago.
