Aw cute birdie.
These guys hang around my place hunting grasshoppers. Wish I had more of them, despite the ruckus in the evenings.

Aye, especially at 04:30 in the morning. Large group of them in my local park get together for a morning choir. Can't hear them from inside but I'm usually outside at that time.
This one was also loud on it's own, the chicks make a lot of noise when they want to be fed.

I essentially have a grasshopper farm, the birds aren't doing their job.

I'm glad I'm not the only person farming grasshoppers. 
I can't grow citrus or figs because of them, they just strip young trees to sticks. Avos and mangoes seem resistant, as do guava and mulberry. They occasionally have a little go at my DMTrees but soon loose interest. Probably after a couple of harsh breakthroughs they decide to take it a bit easier in life, reconsider their position in the universe.

Caught this fella just as he was coming in through my front door, he decided not to come in once he found out my house was occupied. He's definitely been inside before though, I've seen and heard 'im around during heavy rains.

We take the toadies out in the paddock and launch them into the forest with a 7 iron. They don't come back, well not those particular ones anyway.

Nah, just poisonous and invasive. Every one that lives a little less longer means other creatures live a little more longer.

They have small amounts of 5-HO-DMT relative to other toxins so will mostly just kill you. They're especially bad if you have dogs.
It's classified as a schedule 9 drug alongside heroin and LSD.
Do you know what an invasive species is? lol

If you managed to kill a million a day for a year you would not solve the problem. There is no unfucking the ecological disaster.

Bufotenin, one of the chemicals excreted by the cane toad, is classified as a schedule 9 drug under Australian law, alongside heroin and LSD.[45] The effects of bufotenin are thought to be similar to those of mild poisoning; the stimulation, which includes mild hallucinations, lasts less than an hour.[46] As the cane toad excretes bufotenin in small amounts, and other toxins in relatively large quantities, toad licking could result in serious illness or death.[47]
