On one occasion we thought we had a cat in the garden, but it turned out that it was the Great Bowerbird making the meowing noise. We do have one very unique Great Bowerbird that we believe may be a bird we first noticed in 2007. Great Bowerbird enjoying mango. It had two legs at the time, but had a distinct deformed bill.

With the data we have collected over the years we are hoping to address the predation of eggs by feral cats in the Broome area. The Western Australian government hopes to have new policies in place this year to ensure that all cats are micro-chipped and de-sexed. The sandy beach in that area most likelydoes not provide sufficient food.
