So the blue snail pellets would be pounced on as soon as you lay them out??


Funny, this talk of Bower birds remeinds me, a few years back the wife
and I were travelling through Adelaide River in the NT when we stopped
for lunch.

At the spot where we had stopped I noticed that a Bower bird had built
its nest, and it seems as there was a lack of Blue things about, it
had placed what we in the "West" call "blue metal" (probably called a
different name depending on where you're all from) but anyway, its
that crushed up granite that they use for roadworks.

I thought how apt..... Blue metal.
