  • Summary

  • When people first arrive in Australia, one of the first locals they are likely to meet is the “Bin Chicken”. So, I invited the expert on ‘Bin Chickens’ to the show. John Martin became fascinated with the Ibis whilst studying “pest” species in Australia. And they are an incredibly interesting bird in urban ecology.

    In this episode, learn about the ‘Bin Chicken’, how they came to be known as such, and their adaptability to new environments and experiences – just like a language learner.

    It is also an excellent opportunity to get involved in citizen science, which is a great way to reduce culture shock, and to acclimatise to a new environment.
