Robin Hood is alive and well - the keeper had just thrown some mealworms for the Lyrebirds at Healesville Sanctuary - when this Eastern Yellow Robin flew in and stole one!

Sad news from the wildlife hospital. The tūī has died. The autopsy confirms that its injuries were caused by a cat. The people who found the tūī in their garden don’t have a cat, so a cat of their neighbours likely did it.

That reminds me of when we rescued a korimako/bellbird from one of our neighbour’s cats, in our garden. We took that bird to the wildlife hospital and it made it.

NZ won’t be predator free until we figure out how to be responsible cat owners.

This sweet little cinnamon-coloured bird is critically endangered in north-eastern NSW and South East Queensland, but a partnership between Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water is offering hope for this special species.

Eight captive-bred eastern bristlebirds (Dasyornis brachypterus) were recently released in the Border Ranges region, bringing the total number of birds to about 45 from its lowest point of only 15.

These two have adopted my front yard. They sing each morning to wake me up and I feed them a few times a week (special magpie food).
When I take their food out they spend the next five minutes serenading me.
My front yard is densely planted with flowering native shrubs and trees.
As well as the maggies, Rainbow Lorikeets, Honeyeaters, Noisy Miners, Butcher birds, Kookaburras, plus lots of others come visiting each day.
