Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness

Picture of a yard with tall wildflowers growing and the slogan “no mow may”

It’s officially No Mow May! Let that grass grow! Feed those pollinators!!
