Hats off to the Aussies.

We have a couple of pet red bellied blacks in the hay sheds.

They keep down the mice numbers and being territorial seem to keep the tiger snakes in the creek away from the sheds.

When we take a bale of hay off a pile, you sometimes find a joe black sleeping, so you put the bale back down and pick up the next one. Much rather be bitten by a black than a tiger or brown. (Nasty pieces of work those browns.)
