Wonderdog<p>Yesterday and today I noticed the little <a href="https://bne.social/tags/DoubleBarredFinches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DoubleBarredFinches</span></a> are back in the garden - while I was out supervising <a href="https://bne.social/tags/Wonderdog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wonderdog</span></a>’s yard duties, the tiny birds were flitting and squeaking about the bare branches of one of the neighbours’s mulberry trees, where it overhangs between two yards. Double Barred Finches are an <a href="https://bne.social/tags/AustralianNative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AustralianNative</span></a> Bird, and just a little bigger than the <a href="https://bne.social/tags/FairyWren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairyWren</span></a>, to give you an idea of scale. They mostly eat insects, but love picking through leftover seed. (Old photo.)</p>
Australian Geographic<p>Australia’s grey-headed flying-foxes (Pteropus poliocephalus) aren’t just adorable; they’re vital pollinators that disperse thousands of fruit seeds each night as they feed.</p><p>But while they might seem to fill the skies at dusk, why are their numbers declining?</p><p>Get ready to learn all about these incredible animals! 🦇 <a href="https://youtu.be/CN5iUWqi8Mk"
