Very heartening, Dale. Let's hope the loggers & the Tasmanian government are as caring about those rare birds. Any moves to rid Tasmania of the Sugar Gliders since they seem to be introduced?

As bout as much chance of that as ridding rabbits and blackbirds. Most, including the Wildlife rescue organisation I volunteer for will put a lot of effort into saving these little critters, yet any Sulphur Crested cockatoos or Kookaburas are routinely euthanised due to them being introduced into Tasmania.
