1627503322386280448 | Duck shooting *for sport* is still allowed in Victoria. This is in light of the current crisis in some Victorian wetlands where ducks have been heavily impacted by avian flu. The outcome could be catastrophic. So if not now @DanielAndrewsMP - when? @BirdlifeOz https://t.co/7tyr4a8cI1 | 35 |
1627534576741666816 | When there's days & nights of hot weather & you put out fresh water for birds .... its not just hot thirsty birds you help. This simple thing SO EASY to do might make all the difference to a small fur coat. Antechinus are native to Australia. @UrbanBirdsOz @BirdlifeOz https://t.co/Ng4zf2xQnM | 25 |
1629006437782536192 | A total & utter disgrace @DanielAndrewsMP. An absolute blight on your govt. There is zero justification for this except for a weak Opposition, who no one listens to. I hope all Victorians are outraged. #banduckshooting @BirdlifeOz https://t.co/u2ODEXzaVL | 10 |
