No final decision has been made. The smart thing to do would be to wait until 8:30 just in case Beauty decides Earth Hour is the perfect time to lay that first egg.
Ya never know! |

Other Nature Related Information / General Nature Discussion / 'Olive' ducks for cover from rescue Brisbane

WHEN a little, native pacific black duck dubbed “Olive” chose to make the failed $1 billion CBD Vision Tower site its home, it took a community effort to save her.
Filled with polluted water from the Brisbane floods, the abandoned site between Mary and Margaret streets in the city was no place for a duck. Scuttled by the global financial crisis, the site sports a $25 million, seven-level hole in the ground.
Nearby office worker Kylie Campbell was quick to alert the RSPCA to the duck’s plight after first sighting it last Tuesday and becoming concerned it was injured.
The RSPCA then contacted Natalie Forrest, vice-president of Pelican and Seabird Rescue Inc, whose unenviable task it was to get down and dirty via a boogie board to rescue the duck.
After 15 minutes of playing chasey with the uncooperative duck, Natalie emerged victorious, bird safely in hand.
And, lucky for Olive too for she was then diagnosed with toxic poisoning at the Brisbane Bird and Exotics Vet Service, MacGregor.
Recovering well after being put on an IV drip, Olive will be released back into the wild next week.
“It was a real community effort, this little rescue,” Ms Forrest said. “It took a while to get hold of the duck, who was filthy and exhausted and really sick, but she’s now doing really well after surviving that filthy water leftover from the floods.
“The water worried me too, but Good Time Surfboards, Woolloongabba, were quick to donate a $150 wetsuit for me to wear into the giant toxic pond.”

Earth Hour will occur this Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 8:30 PM. Lights will switch off around the globe for one hour.
We are thinking about turning off the cameras for that hour.
I say go for it! It was a biggie last year. Maybe this year more will be involved. |

 I wonder what happens when Donna his 10K  The world trembles in anticipation. She gets reset to zero and goes to the bottom of the list. Sort of like the odometer turning over There is a line/mark/tic to idicate that 100K has been reached - perhaps change the color to a different one, if customizable? There is indeed something special for 10,000.  I shutter to think! I'm going easy now!  |
