We had one pair attempt 5 times in 2009, so they don’t give up easily! Sadly a lot of eggs are lost to feral cats and chicks are sometimes taken by birds of prey. They will move away from the chicks to distract the predator and I have seen it work very well with dogs!

As many of you know, 2009 was chock full of creature-related drama for me. From the feral cats of Project Treadstone to Charles' back surgery to problems with Violet's Vetsulin (insulin for dogs), we had more than our share of issues. Dogs have died from hypoglycemia due to Vetsulin and there is a class action lawsuit.

Back in 2009, Tai Haku sent us a fascinating post exploring a question that ecologists worldwide grapple with: can the translocation of rare species into niches left empty by extinction be successful or justified? Can we find a suitable island free from feral predators that would devastate the introduced species?

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 feral cat problem has existed in Australia for many years and it will take some time to eradicate them. So, officially they “mate for life&# …but not always!
