Zebra finch builds nest in 'outrageous' place

A zebra finch has found a rather unique hollow for its eggs in outback WA — and one expert says it could become more common, as humans continue to destroy habitat.

The ones with donger`s are dry...note the wild dogs have eaten one as high as they could reach.

Wonder what the reaction would be if we hung foxes off tree"s over here, people lose there shizzle when they see trapped moles strung on a fence!

Any that complain here never own a mob of sheep or cattle that the dogs have been killing. Besides dog trees there are many 'fox fences' often with hundreds hanging for the rest to see.

friend hung ninety odd on a fence to prove a point as a one off, taken over around 1200 acres in less than twelve months, none were officially Cubs. Amount of bird life feeding on insects and maggots surprising along with few fox’s killed attracted to fence line. Not a competition but the fence to me was quite a sight, local hunt not happy bunnies!

Quite a few country areas here have fox drives and shoot 100`s and 100`s every year and often the scalp money goes to a rural fire brigade....plenty of beer is knocked off after the hunt too!

I wish I had a tree like that.
My neighbours might not like it though, when they come looking for their missing pets.

You can you know,maybe not next doors Tiddles but any of the travel peoples dogs.

Unfortunately, where sheep are concerned, it's highly likely to be next door's Tiddles that needs taking out.

Is there a point to hanging them like that though ,does it serve to keep anything away or is it just a hunter look at me thing .Just asking .

You lot started it with "the gamekeepers gibbet"

Its a bit much the same as nailing up deer heads etc I suppose.

Only the antis and greens take offence as per usual......but then they dont own livestock or fowl.

I’ll admit to setting up giblets back in the day and getting paid (pittance ) for whatever appeared on there but I’m afraid those days are long gone here .I can’t imagine the grief a keeper would get nowadays .

It's much better when one lives in a place without green eyes looking over the fence. Many country areas do large fox drives and hang the foxes on road front fences... country people don't give a tinkers as to what city folk cry about when they see the gibbets. Google Dog Tree.

You still live in a free and untamed land jg, where men are men and fox’s nervous.
