Stradbroke Island, just off Brisbane had a good deal of success but I assume most places once you thinned them out it just makes room for more to move in. There are reports that quolls in some districts have learned to avoid eating the poison parts and eating the rest. If only the quolls could multiply as quickly as the toads we might make some headway. The trouble then might be that poultry would disappear - quolls love chooks.

More trouble for cane toads, white ibis, better known as bin chickens, had learnt how to eat cane toads without poisoning themselves.
The birds flick the cane toads about to trick them into secreting poison, before washing them in a creek and eating them.

I wonder if this is a learned behavior or if it's due to some mutation. |
