Wild Neighbours
The humane approach to living with wildlife

Ian Temby
Illustrations by Elisabeth Bastian

How to deal kindly with possums on the roof, a snake in the grass, marauding cockatoos, rats in the ceiling, ducks in the swimming pool, or even a Tassie Devil raising its young under the house.

Wild Neighbours offers expert know-how and some lateral thinking for rational, realistic and harmonious solutions to living with wildlife in the suburbs and dealing with problems of shared space in a humane way.

Provides interesting insights into how our wild neighbours live: their habits and favoured habitats, diet and ‘training’.
