In care Right Now, just so's ya know

[den]

1 swamp wallaby, 2 red-necked wallaby, 1 wallaroo/euro, 25 grey kangaroos, 2 red kangaroos, 2 eagles, 1 falcon. 1 heron, 2 magpies, 2 yellow throated miners, 1 noisy miner, 3 galahs, 2 rosellas, 1 hobie falcon.

A lot of the older 'roos should have been released months ago but this drought means they can't go yet. The oldest has been in care for 18 months.

We don't see many antechinus, wombats and gliders, and never see kolalas or platypuses.

I know platypuses are feindishly rare - but why not koalas?

Koalas are very rare in this area, and they need specialist care only the zoo can do. In fact, there are more Platypus around Dubbo than Koalas.

Oooooh. Huh. Learn something every day, I do. ;]

All right- I admit it! I'm interested in the birds and the bats!! And the odd echnidae or so.
I knew platypi were a long shot anyway. Let the koalas rip Steve Irwin's nose off.

Bats don't really need funding, but during the spring we end up with heaps of young magpies and the occasional crow. 8)

Dont you need a partridge in a pear tree to go along with that?? Or do you have some local equivalent? 'Tis the season and all that :)
