The decision to purchase Gluepot Station, Birds Australia's first reserve, was taken in order to protect its outstanding floral and faunal values, under threat because of an application by the lessee to burn the property to provide grazing for sheep. Nearly 200 species of birds have been recorded at Gluepot Reserve. These include the nationally threatened malleefowl, regent parrot, red-lored whistler and black-eared miner. A further 33 species are considered to be regionally threatened. Scarlet-chested parrots are known to have bred on Gluepot Reserve in the past, and still visit the reserve.
