    Do our pets relate to humans on the Autism Spectrum differently than NTs?

    Dogs are a bit like human children, if you don't spend enough time playing with them they get lonely and depressed .

    In one way at least you should be happy that the bats are there, those furry little faces make great pollinators. Now that Varoa mites are wiping out the European honey bees farmers were really worried about not getting their fruit trees pollinated, bats do just as good a job. Personally I'm...

    No, cane toads are tropical creatures and can't survive a temperate winter, fortunately. You've got them in Florida too, same story.

    Common Australian Birds

    What we're doing in South Australia is a little bit different, we're not introducing new species, we're encouraging the proliferation of the original species that used to be prolific here. The noisy minah is a good example of this, people hate them, they're noisy and they attack all other...

    When I was a young man Melbourne only had the one small colony living near the botanic gardens. Now they're everywhere. Adelaide now has just the one small colony living near our botanic gardens....

    Do Autistic People Have No Empathy?

    It's an old slur that gets repeated again and again by the types of people that will tell you that autism is caused by vaccines and covid can be cured by drinking bleach. If I decide I want something I can be very persuasive, in fact I can be one of the smoothest con men you've ever met...

    Common Australian Birds

    Most tourists, especially those from Europe and the US, are shocked by our birds, most of the birds in those videos can be seen wild in the cities, and in great numbers. You don't have to travel to remote places to see them, they're everywhere. Tourists are also often shocked by the noise they...

    You won't like the answer going by your previous comments, but Adelaide got rid of starlings and sparrows by specifically creating habitats for the Noisy Miner, they cleared out the foreign birds real quick, almost none left now. We've also introduced $200 on the spot fines for people feeding...

    That's one way to tell the difference between a Rainbow Lorikeet and a Red Collared Lorikeet, Rainbow Lorikeets eat seeds, Red Collared Lorikeets don't. Red Collared Lorikeets eat only nectar and pollen.

    That's the result of farming. Wheat farms for the bigger birds and sunflower and canola for the smaller ones. South Australia never used to have fruit bats but we've got them now - you're quite welcome to have them back if you want them. :) Once again that's due to farming, fruit farms through...

    Common Australian Birds

    South Australia always had Galahs, Sulphur Cresteds and Corellas. Being seed eaters they prefer open woodlands with large grassy areas as opposed to dense forest. Several species of Lorikeets and Rosellas including the Rainbow Lorrikeet are also original natives here as well as Budgerigars and...

    Another interesting tidbit about parrots - they don't sweat. Instead of producing sweat their skin produces a dry powder that they fluff through their feathers to keep mites and other parasites out. That's why they all smell funny.

    We think our magpies are the most musical bird on the planet. Other than that it really only sounds musical when you can hear many species at the same time. Most of our birds are very loud but don't really sing very much. Parrots are especially noisy and can damage eardrums if there's enough of...

    Common across the top end. Not as big as a wedge tail but much more aggressive, a sea eagle will easily kick a pair of wedge tails out of their territory if he decides it's now his. The common name for these is Plover, and I'm honestly surprised you haven't seen any, they're very common across...

    tips for managing obsessive researching?

    For anything that interests me I learn at a rate that boggles the minds of most people, but key to that is it must be something I'm interested in. It seems I only have high intelligence if I'm having fun.
