Rainforests, my forever love :heart_eyes: I’d love to visit NZ

Is there not a location function?

Congratulations that’s awesome!

That is really cool! There are so many at my bird feeders right now during the winter.

Looks great!

Kiwis,kakapos,Keas, and cassowaries. A birder’s dream.

There is, but Idk how to use it. Probably because I’m just bad at using it.

Those look so good!

It’s free.

Thanks!

We don’t have cassowaries…

Agh! Sorry, I forgot cassowaries were in Australia!

Kakapo 100%. Love those guys. Capuchin Bird is a close second.

Sorry I changed the poll lol.

Why is the poll weird?

I took this and found it helpful.

I got the bird of the year today: Short-eared Owl!

Cassowaries are considered the most deadly bird in the world. I love living in a country where the moment you wake up in the morning, you know you could die. From a spider or snake bite, or something else, like our box jellyfish. I’ve always thought that cassowaries really are like dinosaurs. Even though they aren’t related, they look like it. :grimacing:

Nice!

Ehh, I’ll just stay in the no-deadly-creature zone.

Tasmania?
