Extinction alert. In my latest paper, I examine the status of the barking owl in south-western Australia. I identify just 10 reliable sightings in the past 20 years, with only 9 museum skin specimens known. The last specimen is from 1963. bioone.org/journals/bulle… 1/3

Always wanted to know how the story about the bin-opening cockies continued? In our new paper in Current Biology we report on an innovation arms race between cockies and humans. Open Access for the next 50 days here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1fklA3QW8R~e…

Do Brush-turkeys come to you like a much loved pet dog when you call? Report the Nest Mounds you see, especially those you’ve previously reported - we want to learn if nest mounds are being used year after year, & if not, why? @BigCityBirds Matthew Hall spotteron.com/bigcitybirds/i…

Tough conditions for this beautiful tree, in a suburban front yard. Trees are tough, this one’s a survivor.

How is the loss of these forests still happening? The Victorian government announced the protection of this old-growth forest, satellite data shows within days it was being logged abc.net.au/news/2022-11-1…

“Here is the key takeaway from “A Guide to The Creatures in Your Neighborhood.” Slow down. “Take some time doing…….” That’s it really. Nature isn’t something “over there,” separate from us. Nature is here, right here.” We agree, recommend reading shifter.media/read-a-guide-t…

What's going on here 🤔 It's yet another wet day here in south-eastern Australia, and you would think the eucalypts would be sick of all this rain, but they are positively frothing! Actually frothing. Why is that? 👩‍🔬 Saponins! Read on... #eucbeaut #ozplants #science

Are you seeing the next generation peeking out of a tree hollow or nest box? Trees provide vital habitat, we have a lot to learn about wildlife use of tree hollows and supplementary nest boxes. Sugar glider pictured

Trees require time to grow! Obviously, you might say, but it’s difficult for us humans to fathom hundreds or thousands of years. No doubt we’ll all find this story interesting. abc.net.au/news/2022-11-0…

Breeding hollows are a scarce resource (Hollows as Homes). Unlike Watermelon (011) not all cockies have access to prime real estate. Many eyes on the lookout help map their location and availability, but also to identify pairs. #CitSci tinyurl.com/84esnp69 @spotteron 5/7

@BigCityBirds I have no idea what is happening here. The normal pair that have this hollow are very recognisable because of severe BFD. These 2 not as bad. Is this a new pair trying to take the Hollows as Homes over or last seasons chicks reminiscing, who can know.
