Butters wants to stay

Well yesterday a few other volunteers came and the idea was to catch all 3 kindy kids, weigh them and hopefully take them to the soft release property.
Dimples was easy (comparatively, catching koalas in trees is never 'easy').
Meggs nearly won but with persistence we got her.
But Mr Butters won out and is now in the kindy on his own.
I hate saying 'I told you so', but a month or so ago I suggested some of the trees were getting too tall and we should take the tops out of them .... guess what will happen once we do get him out...
No one managed to come today and he was in a tree that was pretty tall again, so we shall see what tomorrow brings ... 🤭

Butters knows what he wants! Lovely shot.

[Wylie]

He's looking very smug!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ha ! that "butter wouldn't melt " look . I wonder when will he be in agreement to be caught and leave his tree !!

[Pat]

What a challenge, he does look very pleased with himself, great shot.

[Babs]

I guess Butters has decided that he wants to stay on your property. Is there any chance he can stay or does he have to be moved on?

[KV]

Butters has the last word... for now anyway.

[Fr1da]

Butters is such a handsome kindy kid !

[Kate]

Butters must feel safe and at home.

[Lou Ann]

Well he’s laughing at y’all, “he’s just fine where he is, thank you”! Smile

[John Falconer]

Nice story and pic. Thanks.

[Mags]

Aww! They never want to be caught - even for their own good.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very cute capture of Butters.

Fabulous shot, he seems to be very proud of his achievement ;-)

[Richard Sayer]

He's lovely - I think he should be allowed to stay!

[Jean]

smart little guy!

[Santina]

Hi Butters, you made it clear that you like to be in your tree

[carol white]

Butters is showing his independence.

[Steve Jacob]

He looks happy where he is.

[Margaret Brown]

Super little guy, glad he’s showing his independence!

[Sally Ings]

He looks very happy with himself

@onewing I'm really not sure what they will end up deciding, there was a plan for him, but I guess plans can change. However they will want to catch him to do a basic health check on him before releasing him anyway 😊

[Sylvia du Toit]

Hope you are lucky tomorrow.

[Pyrrhula]

At last it will. Who`s boss. Lovely shot of this rebel.

[Sand Lily]

Smart Koala.

[Shutterbug]

Makes me kind of want to root for him. Will they take him far?

[Steve Chappell]

Mr Butters, come on down and get weighed like a good koala! Great shot

[Harry J Benson]

He looks quite content to stay there

[Rick]

He was sure keeping a close eye on you. Great shot.

[Joanne Diochon]

Looks like his vote is to stay.

[Milanie]

Love your story - that's got to be quite a job!

[haskar]

This is what a happy koala looks like. Lovely shot.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Nice shot

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Maybe you will have one of your kindy koalas stay after all! What a cutie pie- a smart cutie pie!
