snottiegobble starts with ... Thought it was time to post a thread on all the delightful wildlife that help to make our gardening the pleasure it is. The photos must be taken personally with info on what the creature is & where taken! I am starting with a Barking Owl taken at Territory wildlife park Darwin.

micarle says... Great Topic!!! Pic# 1. Two Southern Leaf-tailed Gecko's that fell in to a sunken bath tub. They had to spend the night out in the rain. Pic# 2. An Antechinus that was heavily infested with small ticks, i spent a half hour trying to remove what i could(very aggressive). Pic# 3. Here is a Squirel Glider in my Loquot Tree, i came home very late one night and heard a high pitched repetitive noise and thought it was a bandiecote so i went to investigate and it was not on the ground but up in the tree. I don't think it was going for the fruit, but trying to call up a mate. More pics to come. Mitch

snottiegobble says... Great shots micarle & Paula-f I really love those velvet geckos. We only have small ones! Next a natural hybrid between the Galah & one of the Corella species in my garden . there were 3 offspring from a male corella & female galah. However both parents had plenty of their own species to choose from!

micarle says... Thanks snottiegobble! In summer the Gecko's come out onto the deck under the lights and collect insects, they also make lots of noise. Couple of swamp wallabies sneaking into the garden at dusk. I have a love/hate relation with these guys, its great to have them around but they destroys lots of plants. Mitch

amanda says... YES!! great topic guys..what beautiful pics - even the snake :) Huge geckos micarle. A galah/corella cross!? Amazing. Just read a great bed-time story to my daughter about barking owls last nite! No garden is complete with it's fauna IMO. Our little willy wag tail is still in her nest on the sensor lite...can't use it now cos she flies off when we turn it on and can't find her way back cos' of the glare of the other globe. It's no inconvenience - we just use a torch - so what - she has as much right to be here as we do. :) | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

Brendan says... Good photos people. He's my 'sort of pet' wallaby called Rover. She's called Rover because she rolls over on the lawn (like a dog), and she keeps our lawn short like a Rover brand lawnmower :-) And she loves sleeping on the lawn too. She is not dead. Oh, and she doesn't like white bread, must be wholemeal or multigrain?

snottiegobble says... Ringtail possums are quite common here but we rarely see them during the day however this little guy was sitting in a huge fig in the middle of an open air restaurant/bar main St Darwin waiting for patrons to throw him chips. I would have called it a near perfect shot but for the light cable & possums damaged eyelid.

snottiegobble says... Oh Boy, a swarm of bees in our driveway (Vic) stopped us from leaving until the local apiarist placed a beehive close by with a stick leading to the entrance for the workers to climb up. All was well until they decided they preferred an apple tree in the orchard near the backdoor 3 hours later. This meant we became housebound until the swarm finally left for greener pastures, TG!!

amanda says... Warning: a sad photo of fauna meets my ride on mower. Any thoughts on prevention of this most welcome. In an effort to keep our fire risk down, use less glyphosate, deter snakes, make mulch and save myself around a week of effort on the brush cutter etc - I invested in a ride on mower. Unfortunately I can't see these guys in the growth and I feel devastated about this kind of carnage. I thought I was being more environmentally friendly.. :-( Does anyone else have this problem?

Jason says... I was going to reply to this the other night about how we don't mow anymore and so don't have any lizard mowing problem now, but before when we did, if you go very slow in the long grass you can't see into and mow on warm days then the lizards seem to be able to run out infront of the mower and you can see them and move them. As typical as it goes, I was de weeding my trees in preparation for showing Jantina and some other people around in a couple months and I dug up a hiding blue tongue. He wasn't warmed up very good to I moved him to a better hiding place while he poked his slow motion tongue at me. But I have way more awesome news than that. I had a white sapote seedling flower slightly a few months ago but it wasn't ready to make fruit but now I have another seedling sapote thats flowering for the first time and it's about to boom into flower. The ones that are open now have a very small female part of the flower so I'm not yet convinced it will make fruit but the male part is outstanding and has heaps of pollen so I figure even if it doesn't turn out to make good fruit it will be well worth using as a pollinator since it's making much better pollen than ortega or vernon do but I'll have to wait a bit longer to see what is going on. Anyway that was an exciting moment for me, it's only about 7 years old too, It was a seed from Perrys nursery from a sample fruit they gave me, a Vernon I think, it's a very agressive tree with large leaves. most of the tree I grafted to vernon but I left one branch of the seedling which has almost taken over the tree now, I've been holding off on cutting it until it flowered though. So I could decide which half of the tree to cut off. It seems that anytime soon I'll have three mature seedling sapotes and it's inspired me to look after them all better | About the Author Jason Portland 19th September 2010 6:00pm #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brendan says... Hi Amanda, The modern aluminum windows in houses today have weep-holes to let water out, that's where they get in :-) That centipede in your photo is one of the 'good guys' in your garden! And guess what, he's the best anti-cutworm bug! I have them in my garden :-) On the other hand, the millipede is bad in the garden.

Jason says... There's huntsmen in my house every day all the time, they can easily crawl in between the gaps in the sides of doors. I let them run around because my wife has a spider problem and I'm trying to cure her.

Jason says... Oh yeah even I don't like it when they are running around in the car, across the dashboard at night is always a worry. I had one drop off the roof lining onto my arm on the highway once and I just had to keep telling myself to be cool and keep driving straight for the rest of the trip. My wife has jammed the brakes on and just left the car on half hanging on the side of the road before. I used to have to put them in a jar or box before she could get into the bathroom or where ever shes going, but these days shes likely to be able to slide past them on the outer most wall instead of screaming and crying because she can't get to the other side of the house. Those freaky spiders that live in Sydney upset her once walking down a track in Sydney to get to the beach when we were younger, she broke down crying and just sat on the ground refusing to go past them, a couple of people nearby were looking at me like I was trying to abduct her or something I'm suprised the police didn't show up. She told me this whole problem is because a tarantula jumped on her face when she was little, while she was stealing cookies from the kitchen in the middle of the night. Although it hasn't stopped her eating cookies, funny that :) | About the Author Jason10 Portland, Vic 21st September 2010 10:47am #UserID: 3853 Posts: 218 View All Jason10's Edible Fruit Trees |

snottiegobble says... This beautiful Monarch ( wanderer) & one or 2 others frequented our lantanas last summer. However when we visited Harvey Dam early this year they were everywhere! It suddenly dawned on me that the amphitheatre & lawns under the dam wall make the ideal spot for weddings ,& people can buy & release these monarchs as gifts. They tend to land on the bride until they adjust to the light!

snottiegobble says... Just got back from a funeral in Bright NE Vic. where we stayed I saw a male satin bowerbird & heard his chirpy whistles calling for females. I found his bower in the garden & it was surrounded by all things blue & mainly plastic. Bottletops, pegs,wrapping band tape, marbles, & blue feathers from crimson rosellas. Eventually I enticed him down from his call tree to pick up an old trowel handle which he proudly took off to further adorn his "love avenue" These male bowerbirds really are deeply blue with lighter blue eyes.

Diana says... Hi Jason, Lovely kangaroo picture. Where did you take the photo? He looks like an eastern grey kangaroo to me, but does he have a brownish back?. Western greys in South Australia are usually chocolate coloured on the back and head rather than ash grey, and they have bigger ears than eastern greys. Western greys in WA can be paler I think. If in Qld, eastern NSW, eastern Vic, or Tasmania, it is an eastern grey. What State was he in? | About the Author Brisbane 5th November 2010 1:04am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... Diana, South West Victoria close to the border of South Australia (he's in the backyard) we have about 6 resident females/young ones with the odd big male that's around sometimes but not all the time. They do eat my trees quite a bit but it's worth it to have them around :). Theres a bigger male than this one there at the moment, for some reason the larger the male the more darker brown and more wooly? they seem to be, the females never look this fury and the females are more grey. We have one neighbour that hates kangaroos but despite his screaming, whip cracking and shootgun shooting they let me get within 10 meters of them when I'm in the garden and are happy to stay there and eat grass while I plant things or pull out weeds etc. I read on wikipedia it can be hard to tell them apart in areas where there ranges overlap and the kangaroos here don't really look the same as either I see on the net. But then again our Koalas are totally different to those in the North and so are the Magpies :0 | About the Author Jason Portland 5th November 2010 1:34am #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

Diana says... Hi Jason, I think it's harder to tell them apart if they are grey, because some western greys are quite pale, but I don't think eastern greys are ever brown. If they are brown and woolley with fine fur on the muzzle, they are western greys. Male macropods are often darker, but I suppose the females are the same species as the male? Western greys have a strictly seasonal birth pattern- the age range of young at different times of year will be greater in eastern than in western greys too. It's nice to hear that you like kangaroos. At least they are helping with the mowing.

Jason says... He growls at the neighbour in protest of being screamed at. The dominant males seem to stay closer to the bush than the females and just keep and eye on things, they always leave first when something gets to close. But I am wary of the males you can't not be when they are standing there flexing their chest :0, pretty imposing things they are :).

Jason says... I thought you might have had a thing for Rover mowers! like how people call their pet Goats Victa. Wookie is actually tiny as far as rabbits go, he's a pure breed dwarf lop and only just 2 kilos he only eats dried stuff a littttle bit of grass he's never lived outside, it actually took years and years to convince him green grass was edible for rabbits :P. He likes sweet potato and bananas and other fruits like Lychee's and grapes, carob pods are one of his all time legendary foods of excitement but he's pretty good with self regulation, he doesn't ever overdo one single food and goes from one to the other, mostly sticking to the dried grains and grasses with occasional sweet snacks in between. He's actually just come to visit me as I'm typing this (he lives inside and is toilet trained etc). Although like us and most things all senses fail with chocolate :P. He will actually come running from where ever he is in the house within a few seconds of someone eating chocolate, as soon as the fumes escape you and reach him he will follow the trail of chocolate fume goodness back to you. It's been a bit of a learning experience having a rabbit since I'd never had one an didn't realise they were such an intelligent and compassionate? animal. I also didn't realise they were so sensitive and a little tricky to keep alive and healthy long term (these dwarf rabbits can live ages indoors), definitely in the exotic pet class for indoor living. It's also amazing the different temperaments the different breeds of rabbits have. Some are really angry/nervous some like the dwarf lops are totally placid and refuse to bite anything. Wookie will give you a nip on the hand/arm once a year if you stop patting him sometimes just to say come on! what's the deal with stopping, but that's about it. But I had another rabbit, one of the massive 5 kilo+ ones they farm and that was a psycho attack rabbit that I couldn't even handle without gloves and I'd still end up bleeding from multiple holes :), you wouldn't have been able to have it with small kids, where Wookies really too tiny and frail to have any where near kids, totally different story. We did breed some dwarf/mini lops a few times, I was amazed at the nests they build. They build a bowl from straw then the day before the babys are going to be born the female pulls heaps of fur from her chest then makes a perfect "lid" over the bowl which she opens or closes depending on the temperature until they are up and walking with open eyes. Does Rover eat things beside grass and young leaves? fruits maybe? I think a wallaby would be much more hardy than a rabbit :) I'll attach a picture of the result of Wookies stud farming and one of the nests, I don't remember how old this one was but he/she was still a bit wobbly trying to get around | About the Author Jason Portland 8th November 2010 10:36am #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

snottiegobble says... Wow Jason, it looks like you are the only wildlife at your place! Nice photos of cuteness though so I am sure everyone will forgive you! The bottlebrush demolition mob are in town. These whitetailed black cockies enjoy the calistemons so much you can walk up pretty close when they are feeding. Although reasonably plentiful as adults they are endangered due to old forest trees being removed that they nest in.

Jason says... Snottie ok ok I'll take some wildlife pictures but the house is hard up against some forest so they aren't very exotic to me. I had one of the 30? remaining orange bellied parrots in my backyard last Winter, should have got a picture of that How about this Koala on the flywire door one night last year, it was patable. I have to stop on the highway every other night to kick a star gazing koala off the road before it gets run over around here

Brendan says... Yeah Jason, Rover got her name two ways, she mows the grass like a Rover lawnmower, and she 'thinks' she's a dog, sleeps on her back and rolls over like a dog named Rover :-) I grow lots of bananas, a dwaft variety, and her (and her mother, we call 'mother'), stand on their hind legs and tail, and flog the GREEN bananas! I've even covered the bunches up, but they just rip the bag open and go for it! I'm now gradually changing over to a taller variety, but they haven't beared yet. They like mulberry leaves also, see pic.

snottiegobble says... Nice python, any idea which species it is? Much happier to find a python in my garden than a venomous snake. AuOrey, in Vic. I followed the guideline from a booklet " building bird nesting boxes' from the Australian Bird Society ( I think) & put a couple high up in gum trees for crimson rosellas. Trouble was the bloody starlings took over so it was a total waste of time. I threw their eggs & nests out repeatedly but they just kept coming back & building again. Thank God there are NO starlings, sparrows, mynahs or blackbirds in WA.( They get shot at the border) Miss the blackbirds song but when you mulch something here it stays mulched! | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso (smack in the middle) 12th December 2010 1:45pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |

Diana says... Beautiful snake. It's the right time of year for pythons to be broody. They coil tightly around their eggs so you can't see them, and shiver to raise the temperature if they get too cool. Brooding diamond / carpet pythons stay like this for six to eight weeks, and they don't eat while brooding. If you have seen her hunting under the house, she won't be brooding eggs. A big snake like that probably wants something bigger than geckoes- e.g. possums or rats would go down a treat. They will also bask in a coil when they aren't broody. | About the Author Diana Brisbane 14th December 2010 4:47pm #UserID: 3004 Posts: 284 View All Diana's Edible Fruit Trees |

Diana says... Hi BJ, That's a beautiful butterfly. I wonder what the host food plant is? If you knew you could plant some. I have noticed a lot of butterflies around. Snottiegobble, we do live on a floodplain with lots of small areas of higher ground dotted around which can be refuges. Floods are natural, and were formerly more frequent than now with the dam. Rubbish and pollution flowing into the bay however is not natural. Increased dugong, cetacean and turtle strandings and health problems are expected. Re currawongs: they eat mainly fruit in winter. In summer they want meat and insects to feed protein to their nestlings. | About the Author Brisbane 23rd January 2011 11:44am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... Xiem, I'm a bit taken aback that you say rainbow lorikeets are welcome! It may not matter to someone with a few fruit trees in their garden, but they will devastate commercial crops if allowed to spread. They have now reached WA. While they are very pretty, we certainly don't want them spreading to fruit growing areas.

Xiem says... Well I learn something every day Julie. I know they are a lot more prolific than they used to be. I didn't know that that they were illegal immigrants in WA! I thought the Kookaburra was the only invading native. And what of starlings, sparrows and indian mynas? I know starlings are not invited to WA but you are lucky if you haven't got the flying rats (mynas) that have taken over the entire east coast and evicted or displaced most native species. | About the Author Diego 28th February 2011 5:06pm #UserID: 4715 Posts: 283 View All Diego's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... In an ideal world, with a smaller population, that is certainly true. But it is difficult (not impossible) to feed such large numbers of people without a level of monoculture. Unless we all turned into food growers and became an agrarian society again. But even with diversity, if you grow fruit trees in large numbers, the birds will come. In my garden, I have more birds than trees. In a commercial orchard, there are more trees than birds. That's why they can pick fruit while I sometimes lose all mine! | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 28th February 2011 10:42pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

Hi SG, Have you tried 'right clicking' the photo, then 'Save Picture As..'? Hi Julie, to shrink photos, right click (the photo), open with 'Paint', click on 'Image' (up top), then 'Stretch/Skew'. Change the 2 x 100% to 25% each (I think, could be 35%?), then 'Exit' the program, when it asks: 'Save Changes?', click 'Yes'.

micarle says... This Caterpiller seems to only feed on plants from the Rutaceae family. It starts of black and white like a bird droping and turns a nice Apple green colour! When it's alarmed a pair of bright red prongs pop out of its head, as a defensive gesture. This Grub turns into a large black and white Butterfly.

No worries Wayne, I believe it is far too thin for a python/boa constrictor of any kind due to their dependency on muscular strength to constrict their victims breathing ability, so if it is a fair dinkum photo it has to be a venomous snake. Personally I think the head is too high up for travelling unless threatening something! | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso (smackin the middle) 31st May 2011 8:47pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... Not being a smarty pants I will say that Taipans and other dangerous aussie snakes are all Elapids unlike the rest of the world where Colubrids like cobras dominate.Amethystine pythons can be as thin as the pictured snake but the two 5m ones that ate my chickens and ducks and geese respectively were lumpier. I get a great assortment of wildlife in my yard like lace monitors, about 10 kinds of frogs,striped possum sometimes,major skinks,bandicoots,4 kinds of fruit bats,4 types of pythons and tons of birds many of which eat fruit. | About the Author Cairns 16th June 2011 6:41pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... In a previous life I was a wildlife photographer for books,magazines,postcards,posters and that sort of thing.I don't do it any more but as a zoologist I can take a hit from nice wildlife and not be bothered.The bug appreciation society could have field trips to my place to see a big variety.Big flocks of cockotoos,lorikeets,metallic starlings and fig parrots as well as fruit bats of all types can do lots of damage quickly. | About the Author Cairns 17th June 2011 11:41pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... Atlas of Living Australia (online) http://www.ala.org.au/ The Atlas would have to be the most complete collection of plant and animal biodiversities in Australia. It's quite amazing, I could do a search of every species living/growing within any specified radius from my address. You can then get a profile of any of those species listed.. The Atlas project is a partnership between the CSIRO, the Australian natural history collections community and the Australian Government. Definately worth a look. http://www.ala.org.au/ | About the Author JohnMc1 18th June 2011 1:53pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... That's a cool site John, I had a look at it but it's missing heaps of plants native to my backyard let alone in a 5km radius including missing the most dominant tree species in the area :S. It says there are 100 insects species in the 5km but I'm sure I could count more than that in any given month without going looking for them. I'm going to look at it again and see if you can add things, otherwise I can't imagine anyone locally who would be adding anything which is probably why not much is on there.

NQ grower says... I have two vanilla orchids growing on my verandah and I noticed a tiny green frog about thubnail size on one of the leaves. Well I spray the plant nearly every day with water and he must have thought it was a pretty good deal because now I have a little frog on nearly every leaf! I decided to take a pic and couldn't stop lauging when I saw the attached - its almost like he is waiting for his daily mist :)

amanda says... Thanks Mike. I get many different types here and they are all "handsome" looking things ;) I guess they may play a big role in arid zone nutrient recycling (also why I have loads of slaters, as a knowledgable person once told me) They never comein the house, of course (for those wondering) they feed off decaying wood etc only.

MaryT says... Ours are just ringtails SG to differ it from our brushtails. I've never heard them called Eastern Ringtails but hey what do I know ? :) There ain't much spoilt fruit around here and since this little fella showed up I'm worried for everything I'm trying to grow (much as I love him/her). I know they live in my neighbour's macadamia tree and I'm hoping that they'll stick to the nuts. They dance on my roof every night and play in the jacaranda and swing on the bamboo and poo all over my garden but so far I have not noticed their eating anything. :) | About the Author MaryT Sydney 12th June 2012 8:03pm #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... Mary they are common ringtails and they extend to up here as well.Western ringtails are very similar to commons but both are quite diferent from green ringtails,rock ringtails,daintree ringtails,herbert river ringtails etc.Common brushies are bigger with tall ears and are a different group from the ringtails.They also extend right up to here and are very widespread.They hae even colonised NZ.Common brushtails and common ringtails are the main 2 in the east that are happily living in towns and enjoying the city life. | About the Author Cairns 12th June 2012 8:14pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Phil@Tyalgum says... Actually it looks like a male Alexandrine parrot, a bit larger than the ringneck. Fairly valuable bird, someone may reward you if you can trace the owner. I had one arrive here at Tyalgum which had flown 25km, four birds escaped and they got three of them back. One even got as far as Byron Bay and was taken to Currumbin Sanctuary before the owners were able to retrieve it. | About the Author TyalgumPhil Murwillumbah 28th July 2012 12:15pm #UserID: 960 Posts: 1377 View All TyalgumPhil's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Yes, it was quite large, and the colour was two tones of greenish blue or aqua -light and slightly darker, with a large bright orange beak. I think it must have escaped from somewhere because I've never ever seen one flying freely around here before. Anyway it hasn't been back for a feed like the the lorikeets do every day so I don't expect to see it again. | About the Author Linton Springvale, Vic 28th July 2012 6:28pm #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

On recent trips around the Cape,gulf and Einasleigh uplands I saw flocks of these guys in the 1000's all over wherever there were waterholes.They are the most common waterfowl by biomass in many northern areas and the sound of a flock alighting is amazing.They crowd around the water's edge in tight flocks and you can get close.They also like waterweed and small aquatic animals. | About the Author Cairns 1st October 2012 8:03pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brendan says... This little cutie turned up yesterday while I was having a cool drink which was sitting on the round post. (was only 39ºC). He started to peck at it, so I had to move it. These new baby kookies are a bit too friendly! He even let me pat him on the back :-)

MJ says... Are you good at identifying snakes, Brendan? How can you tell what is what? I'm useless at identifiying snakes, but in my defence, the only ones around here are tiger snakes or maybe a dugite and really all you need to know is that they're venomous... We used to get carpet snakes when I lived in the hills, though. It was, err, 40 years ago, so my dad identified them instead of me!

Jason says... We get tiger snakes, copper heads, brown snakes and red belly black snakes here. They all look fairly different in colour and markings at least. Mostly they have different temperaments. AFAIK we don't have any non deadly snakes unless you can count the red belly as non deadly so you can treat them all the same.

starling says... That sucks anon, but at the end of the day, the python is just doing what it does. Gets some big bush carpets out my way too, they eat the brushtail possums which live in the shed. Tend to be easier to handle if they've just fed, I find. I'll generally try and wrangle them into a heshan bag or similar up to a few metres and take them for a long drive. Not sure if I'd try it with a big boy like that though. One in the pic doesn't look too happy. | About the Author starlingshoals@gmail.com 13th October 2013 9:19pm #UserID: 8102 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

starling says... Mike is the one in the pic a carpet? Markings look different then the ones I get. I understand your sentiments. Had one a few years back which crushed my mothers dog, that one didn't go for a drive either. We get eastern browns here, too. Last year I found a skin behind the water tank which gave me chills...I'm generally ok with most snakes--just not them. The idea of one lurking around at that size is very, very disconcerting. | About the Author starlingshoals@gmail.com 13th October 2013 9:35pm #UserID: 8102 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
