We got those cockies around here literally right outside my door, had americans on voice chat ask what the gently caress the noise was when they scream.

Isn't a kookaburra just a big type kingfisher?

I've been using a bin spring for a couple years now after the local cockies taught the magpies how to open wheelie bins and now nothing is safe.

Where the hell is the food for that good bird? They wasted precious calories in coming to visit, the least they deserve is a few peanuts???

Chinese birds are great. Unfortunately I just read an article about how the bird photography scene there is getting as aggressively bad as it sometimes is in the US (birds getting harassed by photographers to the point of death, driven by social media frenzy). I don't know enough to tell when a photo is from a good or bad setting but just good to reflect that not every d'awwwww cute bird is living its best life when the photo is snapped.

Spotted a Superb Fairy Wren for the first time ever in Sydney the other morning. There are signs up in rejuvenation areas talking about building habitat for them but I am an old, old, man who has been around since before they kept records and have never seen one. Seeing one hopping around on the cliffs above a the beach in town was quite a treat.

Gorgeous little birds.

Khizan posted:I love crows. That is a very valid fear. Crows have very good memories, they talk to each other, and they HATE fuckers who mess with their friends. We started helping our local crow family after their fledging chicks kept falling out of the nest, because the old huge nest they stole from the magpies 20 years ago got destroyed by a storm. The babies kept showing up on the ground all mildly able to fly but very silly, so we kept picking them up and putting them up on high places.for safety. At first, the parents were very angry and aggressive, but they soon realised that we were protecting their children. A month later, they were leaving the chicks for me to babysit. They literally sent the young ones down to play in front of where I was sitting, and went out to forage for the day. Those crow babies were so sweet and so funny. That years little guy had a favorite stick, and he played with it right in front of me, and kept chatting about it the whole time just like a little kid

Yep. I would have frozen too. It probably was just curious snot what goes on in there, with all the noise. But I would be worried about any move I made being seen as a threat to that modern dinosaur. I feel like, of I had a carpentry shop, there are plenty of other options besides a cassowary kick that could be used to disembowel myself.
