Record the calls and share them with us all. Would be amazing if they were rediscovered, but anyone knows that it needs to be proven with a video, photos, recordings or specimen.
No one would be happier than me if you do provide proof they are alive, and I certainly wish you all the best in your search!!

Flippin' parrots! I very recently identified a call I have been hearing around home a lot in recent months. It is a two note, very pure whistle, so certainly not a parrot. Except it is a parrot. A blimmin Eastern Rosella.
