Efforts continue to rescue cockatoo ‘living on brioche’ - Tas_mania - 10-22-2024

[attachment=12478]

Story is from here.

I'm a fan of how wildlife interacts with humans. A few weeks ago I woke up and went outside to put my boots on but they were gone. I remember about 10 years ago the same thing happened. I found each boot in different directions about 30 to 40 metres from the house. This time I found the boots about 5 metres apart and 20 or 30 metres from the house. I suspect Tasmanian devils, they are probably attracted to the leather but soon lose interest in eating a pair of old boots.

That cockatoo was captured yesterday by local authorities and released into the 'wild' Smile

Thing is, the 'wild' contains more supermarkets Smile

I'm surprised you still have wild devils? I thought they were almost going extinct in the wild due to some weird facial cancer?

Yes we still have devils. Because it was a rare 'transmissible cancer' it got global scientific attention. As a result there were good strategies to save the species. I saw a guy in the supermarket car park with animal traps in the back of his pick-up (we call them utes). He told me the government pays him to trap feral cats and he releases a lot of devils and quolls.

I see wedged-tailed eagles and other raptors. I hear owls a lot but never see them. I think they indicate the ecosystem is healthy.
