Hi,i saw a mate at wollongong today who works with the railways,in the north around bulli thirrroul he found a bluey being attacked in the open by two mynor birds.This adult bluey had blood coming from its eyes and he took it hom and looked after it for a couple of days and it was OK and was released,then he saw another bluey being attacked and unfortunately its eyes were gone with just the sockets remaining.This one was quite weak and generally buggered so it was dispatched as the pain and suffering would be overwhelming.He als reported finding a medium size coastal carpet near the railway tracks with just the end of its tail missing and he left it there,it was OK but another escapee.Ive found over the years that railway employees that walk the lines and do track maintenance if your lucky to know the right ones are a wealth of imformation  |

Heh heh heh 
If blasting them in your back yard isn't an option for one reason or another, wait until a few hours after dark, they'll go to sleep and if you're quiet you can sneak up on them without waking them up until they're in your hand. They're lighter sleepers and are far more alert than some other flying vermin such as pigeons, so stay on your tippy toes until you've grabbed them. Using a torch with a red lens (improvise with cellophane if you don't have a lens) is a good idea.

Pete,there is quite a few escapees around that way,ime not surprised about the carpet,ive found western form cunninghams and beardys ,blackrockskinks,SA shinglebacks etcgod knows what wires pics up.I dont want the carpets intergrading with the diamonds although it must have happened the amount of carpets that were sold and discarded or escaped over the years. |

The cane toad and the Indian mynah should have a bounty put on their heads!
The govt might do something right for once!

Also would anyone know where to get those metal collapsable traps that NPWS uses for their surveys? Sorry to take the thread off topic, just trying to make my little war on ferals a little more efficient. |
