Australian Birds

[Anonymous]

Maybe these days you cannot export our black cockies and decades back, Sulphur Crested were exported and North Amercias population grew from there. OR, our birds were smuggled out and sold on the black market.

I wonder why the only type of cockatoo pets you see in Canada are sulphur crested cockatoos..



Probably just their appearance.

Black cockatoos are not permitted to be exported from Australia.



I think there are only a few left that can. Sulphur Crested cockatoos, cockathiels, lorrikeets, budgerigars and galahs. I think.

There is enough breeding stock here that importing them is not necessary.

I want  these birds to stay but I can't get them to stay.

More Splendid Fairy-wren and while I was up close, it was very dark from heavy but welcomed cloud.

Indians imported a whole lot of Emus to India and now they don't want them.

Commercial.... food and leather I think.

What does Emu meat taste like?





A: With more protein and less calories and sodium than most other red meat, emu meat is similar in taste and texture to lean beef. ... A: Since emu meat is low fat and looses moisture quickly, it is best when cooked to rare or medium rare doneness (145 to 160 F internal temperature as measured by a meat thermometer).

That's no way to treat our icon: [size=150]Thousands of EMUS left to wander the streets of India after drop in demand forces farmers to release the giant birds

Collapsed Indian emu market has left thousands of emus stranded

[/size]



They were farmed for their meat, eggs, leather and oil

The industry burst in 2012 and farmers abandoned their stock

Shelters have been set up around India to handle the overflow



This won't fly with patriotic bird watchers. Emus once farmed for their meat, oil and eggs have been left stranded in desperate conditions in India after local demand for the birds plummeted.

 

In a sad state of affairs, the Indian emu industry has collapsed, leaving thousands of Australia's most iconic birds to roam the subcontinental wilderness without homes or purpose.



Businessweek reports the local emu population in India has shrunk from 2 million in 2012 to just 800,000 after the market for the flightless avian species took a swan dive.



By the end of the year, experts predict only 350,000 emus will remain in India. Many emus are now living in squalid conditions in shelters around India, the less lucky have been destroyed.

Farmed for their meat, leather, eggs, and oil, emus became a popular commodity in India around five years ago but the industry never managed to soar to great heights.

That explains why they wanted emus.

[caskur]

Yeah... and why you actually have to feed stock... something they don't understand.
