Hello all.
I think Ian's idea has great merit.
As a resident in a popular birding area, (and a past-president of our
local Tourism Assoc, now in recess) I know that most locals are only
vaguely aware of the birds under their noses, much less aware that they
might be of some economic value. Many see them merely as a nuisance -
damaging TV antennas and foliage on Eucalypts (various spp of cockies),
attacking ripening fruit, which is a source of income to many locals,
and grazing their pastures (Wood Duck in particular).
If anyone would like a calling card such as Ian suggests, but hasn't the
wherewithal to make their own, I'd be happy to produce a master sheet of
12 for them, (no charge) which they can photocopy onto light card and
cut up with a stanley knife or guillotine.
Please email me directly with your wording and snail mail address (for
the master copy). If you'd like a special illustration we can come to
some arrangement re emailing jpegs or whatever.
(If zillions of people take up this offer I might have to ask for
postage costs or some reciprocal favour such as a free plug for our
business, but we'll cross that bridge when, and if, we come to it!)
Cheers
Anne
