When I heard that the council had new plans for Burringbar Street, I was curious to see what that plan was. I was shocked to see that with so many threats to Australian wildlife, those plans include cutting down all the palm trees in the street to replant natives. I am not wholly convinced that those palms trees aren’t native but even if they aren’t, they do home hundreds of native lorikeets.
Indeed there are so many birds living in those trees, and it is such an amazing spectacle that when we have family from overseas visiting, we take them to marvel at them coming into roost at sunset.
So my next step was to get onto the feedback form to council to state my point of view.
If you think that destroying hundreds of bird homes is an ill-conceived idea please fill in the form and let council know. Go to https://tinyurl.com/3ynzf5kd to have your say.
