Befriending the neighbourhood Owl

FUNDING REQUIRED $15,000

We'd like to create and nurture a small patch of bush for birds in Mt. Pleasant; just behind the Glenelg Street Fish and Chip shop. The surrounding area is home to Wattle birds, Black Cockatoos, Red Capped parrots and a beautiful, mournful sounding Boobook Owl. Many of these birds are losing their homes as urban infill sees the clearance of established trees - some of which predate European settlement in Perth. Our aim is to transform Harry Bridle Park - now a sandy old stormwater drain - into a fragrant and dense home for local bird life, which could also be a pleasant place for people to relax and learn more about our local bird and insect community.
