Searching for GIS data

At the moment I'm sitting in the computer labs trying to work on my may for my intro to GIS subject that is due on Friday. I'm having real trouble with my project. We have to design a map on something and I chose to do the Orange-bellied Parrot. I was going to show the feeding grounds, breeding grounds, migration routs, treats and human interference. I've been looking for data to use for the past 3 weeks and so far haven't been able to come up with anything useable. This is disappointing as when I chose this topic the tutor told me that I should be able to find everything I needed. That didn't turn out to be so. Now I'm sat here wondering whether I should continue. I want to have this map completed by Monday giving me the rest of this afternoon and tomorrow. Should I choose another topic? What would be good? If I do change I think I'll have to do something based in Buderim as there is some basic data available from the tutorials. I'll just have to work out what kind of project to do it on.
