Agreed, there used to be a tawny frogmouth around I’m a bit worried for. It was attracted by mice in the long grass but I know a neighbour uses rat poison.

Ps: I see you come from a solarpunk instance. If you haven’t come across it yet you might love the Aussie Enviro instance as well 🙂 Birds are a hot topic there
