🖤❤️💛Our series is back! And to kick off the new year we’re highlighting a Queensland icon: the Australian Bush (Alectura lathami)! 🪶✨ This easily recognisable is not actually closely related to the Thanksgiving mascot, the true turkeys in the genus Meleagris. ❌🦃 Much like its closer relative, the Malleefowl, these birds don’t build typical nests! 🐣🪺They build a compost mound out of surrounding vegetation, and the heat from decomposition keeps the eggs nice and warm until they hatch!

☀️ In these cute babies are hatching, so keep an eye out if you’re in their habitat! 🥰🌳

City Nature Challenge 2020

In 2020, Adelaide, South Australia will be participating in the City Nature Challenge for the first time! Help us compete with cities from around the world by making the most natural observations possible from April 24-27, 2020. Let's show the world the incredible diversity Adelaide has to offer. From koalas and kangaroos, to flora and fauna of all shapes and sizes!

During the 3-day window of this challenge, if you are anywhere in Greater Adelaide, snap a photo of your natural observation and upload it to the iNaturalist website making sure to include the location! The observations will automatically be pooled to this project so that we can compete with participants from cities all over the world!

Let's get out there and have fun! More information on the challenge can be found here: http://citynaturechallenge.org/participate/
