Becky, I have always left the grain on the ground for the bandicoots here. It is always gone in the morning. Now I look it up and find the marsupial bandicoot is insectivorous! So I think the rats have been laughing.
In feeding the wood ducks in the morning I have to ensure they have flown in first. I have just discovered the ibis is eating the seed. For a marsh bird they have sewer stomachs, the eat absolutely everything. I don't know why that long bill is needed. However, watching them strip meat off bones it is quite an amazing tool.
