Poor birds, it’s a tough world out there. Bushfires sure have made it very difficult for birds and animals. From my house I can see parts of the mountains that were so badly burned; that rock is seen instead of trees. Giving a look almost like snow covered mountains. The devastation has been unbelievable all down the east coast of Australia. The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is a very small place, but usually has an abundance of greenery. Since the 2019/20 bushfires it has regenerated quite well, however trees take a long time to grow. Having said that some trees and shrubs need fire to generate growth and their seeds to germinate.
