Thelema Posted March 5, 2004 can i have a show of hands and some sort of general consensus as to what people think a plantlet of galbulimima would be worth? How about a seed? I have sourced at least 3 pretty specific locations for this, and if enough people are interested.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fractalhead Posted March 9, 2004 Remember: when going Galbulimima hunting to bring a pair of binoculars, some serious tree climbing gear and a VERY keen botantical eye. This is one elusive (huge) little critter... oh and watch out for stinging trees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted March 9, 2004 i think i got what it takes to search for those seeds. 7x42 binoculars and some good visual bush skills. i am afraid of hight but, have skills like monkey on a tree, once i forget about it. i freeze if i see a big snake in the bush, or i catch it if i think it's save and small. wowh have you ever caught a snake and handeled it for a while like stevo? i got history of succsesfull mineral and plant collecting skills, fieldwork skills, i can spot a "target shape tree", and love the healthy fitness benefits of such actions. ----------------------------------- edit: missing comas 4 the above post. ,,,,, :cool: i would like to add a "nice rifle" to the list, just so to shoot, the seed's down if they are very high up, this is a common oztralien seed gatheres practice, so i've been told.
