G'day All,
 
I'm having a few problems with this attempt to rid Australia of rabbits? if as it was, a long time ago, that rabbits were introduced to Oz, then how many wild birds now live off of "Rare Bits" as their primary food source?
I think rabbits came on the first fleet? I've got some old olde records that would show this.
 
So what exactly are we doing re: removing the food source for one of Australia's most majestic riders of the sky? bring them down and what we will have left as an eco-system will be a joke. Mind you it makes me realise just why Mr. Perry Grin has moved into a penthouse with three good natural meals a day. Good luck to him, he truly knows what exactly is going on.
 
There are those that love birds and those that love to use birds.
 
JAG waddles off getting the "Art he fish cool" doughnut cream out of his beard. It is an artificial world isn't it? that was a very good "Catalyst" show on my ABC about the "Kiwi" eh? what has to go so the Kiwi can fully survive in the wild?
