  4. I was woken this morning by two kookaburras making a racket down the side passage. Turns out their beaks were stuck together (!)

    While they scrambled and fought, trying to pull apart, a currawong sat on the fence commentating the life-or-death struggle.

    After my sleepy brain had made sense of what the bloody hell was going on, I fetched some gloves and gently prised them apart. They both flew off in high dudgeon.

    What a surreal start to the day.

  8. Emus are now local legends at Potato Point, NSW! Originally pets on nearby Horse Island, they swam to the mainland and now roam freely, raising chicks and helping regenerate bushland. Locals love them – it's the coat of arms come to life!

  12. From cat-like quolls and dog-like dingoes to gorgeous lizards and tiny hopping mice, many Australians would love to keep native animals as pets.

    It's also argued that turning threatened species into pets may keep them from going extinct, so why don't we keep these animals as pets? The answer isn't that simple.

  16. I just checked the camera at the quoll spot & am pleased to see we have a new one - this youngster. By comparing their unique spot patterns I've identified at least 21 individual spotted-tailed quolls in the three years we've lived here.

  20. CW: Spider (Mr Fuzzylegs)

    Mr Fuzzylegs has been wandering around by house for a few days & turning up in unexpected places. Yesterday, I accidentally put my hand on him as I was going upstairs. It turns out he also has a fuzzy butt.😆 Don't worry, we didn't hurt each other. Here he is today after collecting cobwebs.

    The movie Arachnophobia made this species out to be deadly but they're actually harmless to humans.
