As a youth I remeber working on a farm about 100 Km N of Port Lincoln
and the farmer laying out an oats trail of 1080 for rabbits. We would
then pickup the dead ones we could find over the next 2 days and get a
pile about 20 m across and 2 - 3 m high. I also caught a couple of
ravens that I thought were sick so took them back and put them in with
the chooks but by the next day they had flown away to feed again on the
big pile. They had eaten so much they could not fly. I do not remember
any dead animals other than rabbits although cats and foxes were also
getting the dead rabbits, so one of my jobs was to trap and shoot these
to protect the chooks.
