Feathers of Oz

You see a cute video. We see a non-paid water taxi/uber fare.

'Difficult' women make the world a better place. Grateful to all who are difficult.

I rescued a poisoned pigeon who was dying in a back lane (rat poison I suspect or lead)… I buried it this morning but it was horrible to see a bird suffer like that. We have to stop using chemicals that hurt creatures

Terrible

Welcome to the Corella tree

@wwf.org.uk @wwf.eu Anyone who donates $ to WWF must watch this documentary.

WWF supports trophy hunting of endangered species and the trade of dead polar bears. Sickening!

Do better #wwf

While coal and gas companies are making millions in profits from burning fossil fuels, it's our communities footing the bill for climate disasters.

A climate disaster levy would make polluters pay for the damage they cause!

In the most cleared state in Australia, Victoria’s native wildlife needs our help after fires The Victorian fires burned though diverse environments across the state. Native animals suffered through heat and smoke, including thousands of dead flying foxes.

Since I wrote this article theconversation.com/in-the-most-... we've learnt that at least one Wilkerr (dingo) appears to have tragically perished in the fires.

TikTok Is Obsessed With Talking Parrots. It's Fueling a Global Black Market A yearlong investigation into the African-grey trade reveals poachers, egg smugglers, wealthy businessmen — and multitudes who want a talking bird

Social media “pets” fueling the stealing and trading of African greys. Warning - this is disturbing.

It reminds me of slavery in the 18th and 19th centuries. The cruelty to these birds is unacceptable

Every idiot who makes money pimping them on social media should be charged.

‘Bitterly disappointed’: Environment report author slams Coalition, Greens | ABC NEWS YouTube video by ABC News (Australia)

Both the Labor Government and the coalition are more than disappointing on their lack of action on #climate emergency and the #environment

So many Australians are with Graeme Samuel in feeling angry about the failure to act. The environment shouldn’t be a political issue

In Australia, 45% of Gen Z vote for the Greens. Is it any wonder with the way our governments (and both the two main parties) continues to align themselves with fossil fuel companies, open more coal mines and succumb to lobbying across all fronts. #auspol #climate #genz

Wow. Queensland which is most at risk of extreme weather events and much else, according to a latest #climate report puts coal and gas at the centre and have extended coal mines by 20 years.

Go figure. Suicidal.

Two elections and still the Australian government hasn’t brought in environmental laws to protect wildlife and nature.

And they continue to open coal mines while claiming to take action on #climate.

It’s shameful. #auspol #hypocrisy

Why do this while claiming to want action on climate crisis??? You are setting us on fire @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social

Australia’s horrifying climate future in four charts – and how we can avoid the worst Maps released by the Australian Climate Service show just how bad things will get for heatwaves, drought and coastal flooding

While some leaders may call climate change a "con job", we know it's impacting ever corner of our country.

Ignoring these warnings & failing to invest in action + adaptation betrays communities across the country and leaves us unprepared.

✍️ ADD YOUR NAME: Phase out fossil fuels Emissions reduction targets won’t solve the climate crisis if they’re built on fiction. It's time for the government to tackle the biggest source of carbon emissions in Australia – fossil fuels.

A $30bn takeover of Santos by a foreign state-owned oil giant isn’t just business - it puts energy security, energy prices, export contracts & climate action at risk.

We need a public inquiry into this shady deal to provide transparency & answer questions.

‘Getting ridiculous’: Bureaucrats sat on critical pollution study for four years Internal documents reveal the level of concern inside the NSW environment watchdog about releasing a report that mining companies did not want published.

Why when mining employees comprise less than 3% of Australian workforce, and have successfully pushed for their mines over the health of the planet, have any influence at all? Now their hiding reports on lead levels in children’s blood

New research shows that based on genetic, behavioural, ecological and archaeological evidence, dingoes are distinct from domestic dogs, including South-East Asian village dogs, which look superficially similar.

Did you know it’s an offence in Western Australia under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 to feed native fauna without a licence, it can attract fines up to $20,000

Instead:
🌱 put native plants in your garden
💧 leave out fresh water

The Rodrigues parakeet’s last day: what one extinct bird tells us about the role of museums Two specimens at a museum in Cambridge are the only physical evidence this bird ever existed.

150 years ago today, the last known Rodrigues parakeet died.
It - and one other specimen - is now in @zoologymuseum.bsky.social: the only physical evidence the species ever existed.
I wrote about them & the importance of #museums in our knowledge of #extinction:
