Hard to fathom. What species of plants will be used to cool it down? “Native” isn’t good enough. Wildlife needs locally native. There’s a huge diff. between the 2 when it comes to providing habitat. There’s thousands of Euc. Maculata in Perth. All wasted opportunities 4 #habitat

I recently filmed a story in the Edith Cowan University (ECU) wildlife lab with Channel 9 News. Alongside colleagues from Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre we talked about the impact of rat baits on owls and other wildlife. It will be air tonight at 650PM on 9 News Perth.

@Saerdana @DingoResearch Absolutely

@CityofPerth Will these trees be locally native? The local wildlife would very much appreciate it.

This! Thank you, @PhillipCoorey. Great to see people in the media calling out the blatant hypocrisy and bs.

[Botanical Heritage @bother70]

@DingoResearch @RTW_Aus In this context the word “native” is too broad. Plants needs to be “locally native”. A plant from QLD is as exotic to WA as a plant from Africa, and vice versa. Nurseries need to be more responsible when it comes to this terminology.

@Archaeocynical @EucalyptAus Possible larvae of Wandoo Longicorn beetle. Ref this book.

[Botanical Heritage @bother70]

@CityofPerth Is the intention to use locally indigenous species? Wildlife needs all the habitat it can get. #botanicalheritage

@UrbanBirdsOz @focusfilmsaust Buckets are a bad idea. The steep slippery sides can be a death trap for birds and other critters. At least put a stick in the bucket to work as a ladder.

Hello good people of the #WAFeralCat23 symposium - this was in our suburban Perth Hills backyard just a few hours ago.

PLEASE keep advocating for better policy to control domestic cats. Please!!! 💪🙏

@Knockaboutwok @FrogsHills @WAFCWG @Gbutterfly19 Can I have one too?

[Frogs In The Hills @FrogsHills]

Because you've all been spending your weekends wondering who'd win a race between a chuditch and a quenda.

(Quenda moves off to the left of screen right at the start. Be patient and watch the middle of the screen. Especially for the dust cloud. 😁)

And the winner was...

[Frogs In The Hills @FrogsHills]

A sense of scale:

Top - Chuditch (our biggest local [SW WA] native carnivore) 🥳
Middle - Quenda (this is a big male) 🥰
Bottom - Cat 🤬

[Distance from tree to fence is 500mm]

Apparently our backyard is prime #quenda #habitat. #wildlife #territoriality
