A story for you about the Australian Easter Bilby.

My avatar is an Easter Bilby and not an Easter Bunny!

The Easter Bunny has been an important part of Easter celebrations all over the world, but Australians have often questioned its suitability for our nation. In Australia feral rabbits are a major environmental problem and in most states it is illegal to own a (pet) rabbit.

What is an Australian Bilby?

It is a small rodent with a long nose and tail, however it shares one feature with the rabbit, and that is her ears! The Easter Bilby is becoming more common on our supermarket shelves alongside the traditional rabbit and most manufacturers donate some of the proceeds from Bilby sales to saving the Bilby.
