Rare nest footage: Sixty years a guardian to the rare malleefowl | Animals | ABC Australia

Trevor Wyatt was just 6 years old when his father first introduced him to what has become his life-long role as guardian to three nests of rare malleefowls. Carrying on from his father, caring for the nests has become a sixty-year passion for protecting his feathered friends. But even after sixty years of watching these rare and illusive birds, he has never witnessed a hatching. But this year he's confident he'll see one.

Cool birds, need more 1080 baiting to keep the foxes away

What a beautiful native bird. Bloody foxes and cats. Have decimated the poor mallee fowl.

Have to let Taringa zoo know Malleefowl is close to extinction, because foxes wait for the chicks to hatch
