17.01.2022 Should you feed native birds? While it can be a great way to connect, Zoos Victoria suggest if you want to encourage, provide shelter for and feed wild birds the best thing to do is plant the right native flora. Small birds like Scrub Rens, Fairy Wrens and Thornbills like to shelter in prickly dense shrubs. Whereas bigger birds like Magpies, Owls, Tawny Frogmouths and Parrots need tall trees for their shelter.
17.01.2022 Dont be a Jon Snow and abandon your Direwolf to the far north Keep your contact details up-to-date on your registration and know your responsibilities as a dog owner when it comes to having your dog on and off-leash in public. Find out more hume.vic.gov.au/petsinhume
