Beautiful video

man being very careful not to upset the horse people and cause another national issue but using your metric they would rank at number 2 just be careful with this info XD

I am happy to say I have two indoor cats. Glad mine aren't contributing!

The current government is doing this exact thing with people....

And this is why my cat is an indoor cat with an outdoor pen

I don't know if you've ever thought of doing a collab with Turnah81 but I'm sure you'll come down on the same side of the fence on cat curfews. And humour.

If you want to cut down on feral cats, stop killing dingoes -- and hawks, and eagles, and every other creature that preys on cats. The house-cat is as much prey as predator. But if you want to get rid of the black rat, then leave the cats alone.

These are honestly amazing, as an Ecologist and bush nerd I'm amazed no one has done this before. Keep it up!!

Heard you on Triple RRR about Maggies swooping….Bloody Great. Well done.

If we introduce lions we can sort out the cattle problem

Thanks for the NZ shoutout. Some Aussies are surprised we grind possums up into dog food, but your gift as overstayed it's welcome and has wrecked havoc.

Leave the immigrants alone.

Killed by cuteness. 😮

Hmm maybe the north island needs some Tassie Devils? An introduced species, what could go wrong? 😂

Those numbers are whopping. Here in NZ we have a huge problem with wallaby and possum destroying our native forests and unique eco systems. Its never a good idea to introduce foreign species.

"The grass is greener when you turn your enemies into fertilizer". This was pure gold man, as were all your countless other puns and quips throughout the video. You wield a very sharp pen my friend, and you use it well.

I’m sorry but sonic was at its prime a good 30 years ago, ‘granny’ remembers, and yes, you are now old.

Awesome video once again! You are a champion! ❤🎉 love your work!

European Blackberry would have to be the most annoying vine/bush/weed in Australia and it's ugly as well.

Well now I know how to say 'coucal'.....

This is genius. Your mastery of puns is next level (I’m not going to say it’s puntastic because that would punishingly poor … a good pun should be its own reword. No, that punch line isn’t punny.) But seriously … love how you make educational content so entertaining. And I, for one, am looking forward to the Taitset crossover! 🤓 👌

I was so hoping you would address the feral humans. Well done. Yes immigration of species that really shouldn't be here and yet they are still doing it including the genetic tampering of our plant life now too....not much hope the future looks pretty bleak. sorry for not being optimistic about things getting better. Feral cats are scarey, the teeth and claws on a long lived feral cat not to mention their size is astonishing I saw them come in to the shelter often.

This is brilliant! So much comedy that a lot of people will miss it. Great job!

cats should be banned as a pet in Australia, simple as that.

I'm sure locusts could have made the list.

We could eat for free for a hundred years off all of these feral animals. So much for British being a developed culture. We it is, but more like cancer cells.

do you mean british colonists or your own ancestors?? hmmm

I have a dream of watching kangaroos becoming invasive in Africa or America.

All the besties with the AoM soundtrack background music 👌

If they swoop me when I'm riding my bike I just stick my middle finger up at them literally giving them the bird... haha

please please please make a video about The epic Channel Billed Cuckoo and the epic mind games that get played with the Magpies.... because your narration is the best!!! cheers

White Australians talking about invasive species must appear incredibly ironic to indigenous Australians... Nr.1 spot on this list should be humans, nothing is as destructive to the Australian environment like non-indigenous humans.

American here, far from offended- I only want to be called Burger McQuarterback from now on.

good vid

Look up the history of nativism. I think you'll find it first became popular amongst white South Africans in the 1930s.

Oh please, cattle not cats. After at least 40,000 years of living in harmony with Australia's native flora and fauna, the white man with their land clearing, farming, roadkill, mining, pollution, mass fish kills, fossil fuel extraction and release of carbon into the atmosphere, bird spikes, tree banding... There is one species of animal that causes more harm to Australian wildlife than any other and you are a member of it. How many kangaroos were killed on our roads last year? Nobody is counting.

According to certain persons, every ''introduced'' European, African, American and African HUMAN to this continent is a feral.

Had a feral kitten. Raised from less than 6-week-old to full size and just kept getting bigger. He was actually the laziest cat I've ever met. We had a mouse problem (not a plague of them) and he would just sit and watch them pass by. Secret was keeping him fed a diet of liver, kidney, heart and mince. Weighed over 10 kilograms and was just a really fat cat.

Lantana has to be amongst the worst introduced species ever. I remember cutting a survey line with 2 of us and brush hooks near Brisbane in the early 1980's. Had gone about 30 metres and I dropped the hook, it fell 5 metres to the ground! We had simply cut over the mass of lantana and we were standing on the top of the clump.

Loving these bird videos! More Raptors in the next video please, Nankeen Kestrel, Black Shouldered Kite, etc.

Great video mate, i got lots to ponder regarding my actions. Lots to think about to

Hell, why are they -again-cruelly and wastefully poisoning the feral cattle ? There’s only a hundred thousand of them you day. If you poison them, we can’t eat em right? (im assuming). Why not go out catch em snd eat em-or PUT THEM INTO DOMESTIC PET FOOD, torturing a hundred thousand less cattle on animal farms-???? no, we are spoiled, and we aren’t a team in this country. Every man’s out for himself more and more. Im old. I’ve seen it change even more in that direction, despite all the cumba-ya talk. its unspeakably cruel as well. Poor bastards haven’t got anything to do with this. No cow, fix or cat, ever packed up himself a little rucksack, left another country, saying to his mates: “Lets go and fuck up Australia, ha ha !”. Really?

I don't know the value of protecting geographically isolated ecosystems forever, vs. the cost. We can keep out species now, but why go to war against a species of animal for another? Chances are a land bridge would form again anyway, be in a thousand years or a million, and it's all the same. Even dingoes started are just feral dogs. I'm not certain about it, but it might be better to accept Australia is going to look a bit more like Europe in the animalia department rather than stop people from having cats, especially as it seems like a lost cause (unless maybe you breed a native species to replace them as a pet option, or something)

As for rabbits, a couple of years ago I managed to get my hands on two buckets of carrots mixed with calicivirus, after depositing it around any burrows or pathways under fences, four or so weeks later they were almost non existent with carcasses often being found, I suspect it had a high success rate at well over 90%. Follow up shooting of the lone survivors I found that they were mostly pregnant females. I suspect they have a more elevated immune system during pregnancy. This follow up shooting almost completely wiped my local population, now they are starting to migrate back from the surrounding areas. No one measure for control will work without other follow up efforts using alternate methods, complete success will only happen with a blanket approach across the country at the same time and by everyone. All ferals can be controlled, it just takes a lot of work by those that have a vested interest which should be every Australian, not just those who see a money making opportunity.

Egg and bacon. Do we have an alpha

I'm constantly impressed with the quality of your videos - the humour, the info, perfectly blended *chef's kiss*. Side note: I love my cat but ABSOLUTELY he is indoor only, with a small-gauge-wire cat run for birdie-safe outdoor sunbathing and zoomies.

Our native species are being decimated by ferals cats,dogs and other introduced animals...we must act now before our natives become extinct 😢

I was watering the garden last summer and a blue tongue skink was running pass me followed by another chasing it, I'm assuming to mate

Thanks Darcy, love watching your videos. The white winged chough was an eye opener, kidnapping and slavery of other choughs 😮 geez

My cat tried to kill something once. She found a mouse and brought it inside...alive. It was set loose and we had to catch it ourselves. One job!!! Aside from that there are maybe 3 flies on the tally.
