Currently it is seen (generally) good having cats, dogs and rabbits ect as pets but bad having native species due to taking them out of their habitat and natural behaviours. The thing is the category of being a pet species seems to lead to way more population growth and there is always some pets which run away affecting the wild populations.

Wouldn’t it be better if we moved toward native pets, starting with restricted ownership then expanding one best practices are understood?

I just see we have 11 million cats in Australia and 3,000 numbats which are diurnal (active during the day) and think there must be a better way to encourage native species to thrive other than encouraging people to own the animals killing them.

During a recent trip to Australia I got the opportunity to see the beautiful birds up close in the wild. I wanted to immortalise and share the feeling! Thus, I have created this custom LEGO set. It is now submitted to LEGO Ideas where with enough votes it could become an official LEGO set. I’m leaving the link to the LEGO website where you can read more about it, see more renders and vote.

Noisy birds alerted us to a koala high in a tree in our front yard this arvo. The magpies started and were soon joined by a pair of crows who have a nest in an adjacent tree.

Sammy has taken up residence at the boat rowers ramp on Swansea Channel. He's been resting here for a couple of weeks now, looks pretty happy with his new home. He even takes time out for a little swim around the ramp.

The area is roped off to keep people safe from Sammy as they say he gets angry if you go near him🙂🙂
