Great to get a wildlife post not by me. In Australia we have such amazing and diverse species. I'm not sure why the above fairy wrens are considered 'radical'. Where I live in Qld we are fortunate to have various fairy wrens and a rich bird life generally.

Kookaburra older offspring also help in the care of younger siblings and in defending territory. I'll put up a post in case people are interested.

Bit hurtful. This community is a fair bit older than your account. Plenty of people, including myself with wildlife posts in particular, have put up plenty of posts in the past.

Yeah, I know I've been pretty lax with posting in general to AZ this year so far which is why I've been so happy and thankful you've come along to help give this community life. And thank you for your posts :) Hopefully now the year is underway I'll be able to get back into more familiar routines and be there posting alongside you a bit more.

I'll have to read about these Kookaburras at lunch. Bird behaviour can be so interesting.

Sorry, didn't mean to be hurtful. You are not the only person responsible for what is put up. This is a community, right? Perhaps the folks here need to be reminded by a veteran member like you that we can only make this a vibrant place if more people bring a variety of posts to the table including asking questions about what they can do at home and their communities, for support, and showing us what plants and animals live in their areas ( great opp for photographers), as well as supplying information articles. We are living in a critical point in time in which what we do and how we interact has a decisive effect on the future. I am particularly committed to making the future less onerous for the young and for nature. I'm in my seventies and time becomes much more meaningful as you get older.
