I've been in places in the USA and Europe that just feel devoid of birds or often insects. Lift a log in Australia and there are dozens of living things crawling around. In parts of the US, more often than not, there's nothing.
I have a pretty routine suburban backyard in South Australia and there are loads of birds, as with your experience - lorikeets, wattlebirds, etc.
- dmix 7y agoUsing Australia as the baseline measure for wildlife/insect levels and you're going to find the vast majority of places wouldn't keep up..
- prawn 7y agoThat reply got me thinking - thanks.
