At our bird bath a couple of years ago. Several yellow tufted honeyeaters enjoying a bath. A fuscous honeyeater as well and finishing up with a grey shrike thrush.

Two questions:
Do the parts Australia provides for warplanes keep those combat aircraft flying?
If we don't supply weapons to Israel, what's the harm of banning arms exports as a statement of values?

A yellow footed antichinus on a grey box in central Victoria. It may have come out of a nest box on the tree, just out of picture. Maybe it’s sharing the nest box with sugar gliders?
