Another short walk in Veale Gardens #Adelaide earlier on, I'm seeing Kookaburras everywhere lately...

Depending on season, & rain/drought status extant at the time, i'm fortunate to get them, #corellas, #rosellas, #kookaburras, #magpies, #currawongs around my place / in my area. They're fab, always make me smile, & lift my spirits.
Second coffee, so the world is wonderful... for another few minutes.

This is no laughing matter. A man killed 350 #kookaburras on his property and he only got fined because he had the wrong gun license.
In #Tasmania they are considered an invasive species (brought in by humans to eat snakes in the early 1900s ... I wonder how that worked out), and so receive no protection or legal status. The rest of #Australia protects them due to them being a native species.
My question to my fellow #mastodon tooters, is this a normal thing to do?
If there is an invasive species, does that give us the right to kill it? Does the rights of the ecosystem outweigh the rights of a bird? For a non vegan, I am sure the answer is quite obvious. Cut off the hand so the gangrene doesn't spread.
In relation to #veganism though, this is one of those grey areas that I feel #vegans have had to really think about. Obviously the #vegan solution in this situation is to capture all the kookaburras from the land they have invaded, and release them in their native habitat. The only thing stoping the average person from doing this though is the cost involved and the lack of any real incentive from doing so. 💰
So, are invasive species, such as the Kookaburra, fair game? What do you think?
(And of course, my bias is showing, but do think of the more useful invasive species that also inhabit this land we call home 🐖🐔🐄🐑🐈🐕🐎).

It’s been hot today. 4:45pm and its still around 36 deg. Kooka was in early for a swim in the bird bath and no doubt will be back a bit later for another dip and cool down. The bird bath gets a lot of use as do the various bowls of fresh water around the garden. Doesn’t take much to keep our little friends happy and coming back.

Well hello there...
A visitor to my garden this year as it has grown and thrived. This little guy was so close too. Even let me feed him some chicken.
Kookaburras are beautiful birds. You can hear their laughter echoing around all parts of Australia. The blue feathers are a rather spectacular feature of these birds.
But they're not as kind as one thinks. They eat meat and as such small mammals or even baby birds can be on the menu. They're just a reminder that not matter what, if it's Aussie, it can do damage.

I saw this handsome lad on the walk home from the shops. He’s been laughing all day.
