Australian Birds

Those small birds most likely are being attacked by rats though.



Rat steal eggs and eat baby birds... they can reach places cats can't.





People overlook rats but they can become a significant problem.

My province,  Alberta claims to be rat free.

Beautiful Bricktop.



I saw my first pair of Red Capped parrots driving to New Norcia a month back...They flew screaming across the road. I can't wait to photograph some one day.

Sad, really. To see a bird in the wild is far more exciting than to see one in a cage.

I agree, but we don't have the chance of seeing parrots in the wild.

They would have to keep poison on the borders continually for that to work.



They won't do that in Australia... rodents feed snakes... according to one of my sources, Australia has a rodent plague every 4 years.

There is a hotline run  by the provincial government you can call if you see a rat in the province..



Technicians will come, find the rat and kill it.
