I wanted to see it, but we don't get PBS here. My parents taped it for me, so I hope they mail it to me soon.

I saw some parts of it.. like the part where that lizard snacked up that lil budgie.. it was pretty cool.

(yes, i support darwinism, and some birds have to be lizard food, so that others can survive)

six foot grey lizzard with white spots, sounded like ferenty, or perenty? it kinda looked like a goanna, or a monitor, probably related.

the number to order the dvd is 1-800-336-1917 i dont know how that works with international dialing, good luck.

hahaha I just look out the window to watch that wildlife! Here we have sulphur crested cockatoos, red-tailed-black cockatoos, yello-tailed-black cockatoos, gang gangs, crimson rosallas, eastern rosellas, rainbow lorikeets (like Ashling), musk lorikeets and corellas! And I live in the suburbs!

Aw I didn't want to hear that bit about the Lizard! So sad! I'm glad the only real Lizards we have here are Tuataras and they aren't budgie eaters. We have no snakes either, so Lucki is safe :) I'll have to watch out for that program :)
