Hi great school holidays fall on spring .The boys found 2 bobtails 1 has ticks all over him ,we drop them in boiling water and the university check them out .And my camera doesnt work indoors to well 
. But we have a pink & grey gallah who has lost his g/f and he sits by my wife and she can hand feed him . 1 bobtail has the tick poison it makes there neck go stiff not unlick spider venom .Its to paralyse him so the females can jump on and lay millions of eggs ..Need antvenom
sad the camera wont work down stairs .
Note the brown tick in this shingles ears and mouth ....yuck there not the bad ones,
the white fat female paraysis tick is lethal .
Oh he,s a lost male we think he has lost his gf ..darker red eye is a male and at his age he should be with his wife ..But he flys down and gets spoilt . He looks sad they live till 30 years ,the wattle around his eye shows he,s no spring chicken
TICKS in your mouth and ears oh i love getting them off
Packed full both ears ( yuk ) He has old war wounds that have healed nose & back
This one has the stiffness from the white tick, horrible there stuck like that .
Looks like a weed wacker wip mark on his cheeck ...ok fill the card up again ...loads more a pure black

that makes them drop off clean .If you dab fly spray or pure alcohol , they spit out more venom,infestations of these use a venom so the host can,t feel them bite and dig in .Ive had many dig into me you dont feel anything one went for my sox line were the blood was rich and close to the surface . a Year later it was the size of a M&M Very sore on a drip of cephlexon . There a old form of spider have no head just a mouth piece , well that is the head i meant . 48 is the record , cause shock a thing we call jelly bone .Were they robb all the calcium from the young ones ..very adapt little suckers . We have cattle ticks that grow so fat like a plum inside you . This lovely colored orange was born infested see the hole on his L front leg 1 tick had dug that out making him critically ill he was numb all over and they cannot take heat , the venom does this cruel trick.. 1 is there brain goes mad when the body temp rises . Like when we eat a big lump of ice cream cranium ache ..It died sadly but we stuck needles in it of antivenom , poor thing is parylised breathing , legs the bone was like jelly 
I'm so lucky here we only have 2 times of ticks (can't remember their names) and they aren't lime disease carriers and no major problems arise from them, thank goodness Those Bobtails are so lucky you are there and know what to do Deadeye, I wish I was computer savie I would help you with that web site to inform people. Good Luck with that! 
Glad those Blueys found you Deadeye. Someone must be watching over them.
