The Mukarrthippi grasswren has a very low known population (4-20) in a tiny area, while the Night Parrot population is estimated around 10-20 at Pullen Pullen Reserve, and the Red Goshawk is Australia's rarest bird of prey, with its range significantly reduced.

The 5-7-9 rule for bird feeders is a squirrel-proofing strategy that uses distance to prevent access: place feeders at least 5 feet off the ground, 7 feet away from structures like walls or trees, and 9 feet below any overhead branches, exploiting squirrels' jumping limits to keep seeds for birds. This setup stops squirrels from leaping from the ground (5ft limit), walls (7ft horizontal jump), or dropping from above (9ft drop limit).
