Christmas is getting closer. And if you’re scratching your head, wondering what presents to buy, I’m here to help with A Bilby’s Christmas Gift Guide.
For the ones you love the most, how about:
Mealworms.
Locusts.
And maybe some sweet potato?
I’ve no idea how to wrap them. But never mind!
These three nutritious treats are what our long-eared, furry marsupial friends want in their stockings, and with your help, that’s exactly what they’ll get!
That’s because when you donate, you’ll have the chance to vote on which tasty treat we will give them as a gift on Christmas Day!
But bilbies have another wish, and that’s to survive in this increasingly hostile world.
For around 20 million years, these tough little battlers have dug their burrows in this land and made it their own. They’re an essential part of keeping the outback thriving, moving several tonnes of soil each year. As they dig, they spread spores and seeds and give shelter to many other creatures.
They’re perfectly adapted to desert conditions, and the sweltering heat of Christmas doesn’t bother them one bit – a perk of being nocturnal.
They’re amazing. I love ‘em. And it means everything to me that you do too, because Bilbies won’t survive unless we work together to save them.
