🌼 White Native Hibiscus — a beautiful wildlife-friendly tree anda fantastic source of food and shelter for local wildlife. 🐝🦋🐦

Its long flowering period provides nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies and beetles, while birds forage through the branches looking for insects.

The large, broad leaves also provide valuable shade and shelter, particularly in warm coastal and creekside areas.

🌿 If you’re choosing plants for your garden, native species like this can help turn your backyard into a little wildlife haven.

🐾 Plant for wildlife and you’ll be amazed at who comes to visit!

🐾 A possum’s home in the treetops! 🌿

Have you ever spotted one of these in a tree? This is a possum drey — a cosy nest where a possum can sleep and shelter during the day.

Interestingly, dreys like this are made by Ringtail Possums. 🥰 They build their nests using leaves, bark and other natural materials, usually tucked away in the branches where they’re protected from the elements.

So next time you see a messy-looking bundle of leaves high up in a tree, take a closer look — you might have a Ringtail Possum living nearby! 🌿🐾

🐾 Love your local wildlife — and give them a safe place to call home.

Nature in Brisbane never stays quiet for long 🌿😄
If you’re noticing unusual wildlife activity around your roof or yard, our team at Peter the Possum Man Brisbane is here to help keep your home safe and wildlife handled humanely.

🐦 Home sweet home! 🌳

These Corellas have found the perfect spot to raise a family — a natural hollow in a tree.

Tree hollows are incredibly important for Australian wildlife. Birds such as Corellas rely on suitable hollows for nesting, while many other native animals also use them for shelter and raising their young.

Unfortunately, large old trees with hollows are becoming harder to find, which is why protecting mature trees is so important for our native wildlife. 🌿

Next time you see a bird disappearing into a tree hollow, take a moment to appreciate what a valuable little piece of real estate it has found! 🐦💚

🦋 A beautiful Orchard Swallowtail! 🌿

There’s something pretty special about watching a butterfly go about its day — and this Orchard Swallowtail is certainly a beautiful sight.

With its striking black-and-yellow markings and graceful flight, it’s one of the butterflies you might spot around Brisbane gardens and bushland. 🌼🦋

Planting a variety of flowering plants can help provide food for butterflies and other pollinators, turning your garden into a little wildlife haven.

Have you spotted an Orchard Swallowtail in your garden? 💚

🐾 Got a possum in your roof? We can help! 🏠

Hearing scratching, thumping or scurrying above your ceiling at night? You may have a possum taking up residence in your roof cavity.

Possums are protected native wildlife, so they need to be handled carefully and legally. Our experienced team can:

🔎 Find where the possum is getting in
🐾 Safely remove the possum
🏠 Possum-proof the entry points
🌿 Release the possum nearby, as required
✅ Provide a 12-month warranty on our possum proofing work

Don't wait for a small entry point to become a big problem — possums can cause damage to insulation, wiring and roofing materials.

📞 If you think you have a possum in your roof, give us a call for an inspection.
