Hi everyone

Happy Australia Day.

A friend of mine is going to look for Eungella Honeyeater. Does anyone have any recent gen? If so could you email me offline?

Thanks very much Phil.

An interesting read – Why do we feed wild animals?

Speaking very much as a layman, would not the use water bowls spread disease just as much as food trays. We are encouraged to clean water supplies regularly, if we did the same with food trays would that not help to discourage the spread of disease? Robin

Gold Coast Spit ramifications of fire at FederationWalk last November

Hi Judy,

Brush-turkeys eat a variety of food (HANZAB states “seeds, fruits, grain, insects, earthworms, occasionally reptiles, and carrion) so I would expect that they will find enough food to survive. They have been turning up in a number of north coast New South Wales locations where they were previously absent or rare so the . . . → Read More: Gold Coast Spit ramifications of fire at FederationWalk last November

Gold Coast Spit ramifications of fire at Federation Walk last November

Hi all,

Pre-dawn cloud cover obscured a possible sighting of the five planets from the Gold Coast Spit today.

However, a total of 14 Australian Brush-turkeys in small groups (between 4-6) hopping up, around and through the seaway rocks was amazing!

Personally, I have never seen more than 2 Australian Brush-Turkeys together at any one . . . → Read More: Gold Coast Spit ramifications of fire at Federation Walk last November
