This is probably more suited to Sus Rid  but anyardvark... I went to O’Reilly’s on the weekend with Paul – for those of you who don’t know, O’Reilly’s is in Lamington National park with a tree-top walk through the rainforest and a load of fat greedy birds. The bird feeding was definitely the most fun – there were rosellas and a few king parrots that’d hop all over you and eat the food out of your hands. Lovely creatures  Then there were the BUSHTURKEYS. They wouldn’t come near you for food. But as soon as I put my bag of bird seed down to take a photo of Paul with 3 king parrots, this bleedin’ bush turkey made a 50-foot dash across the courtyard between my feet, picked up the entire bag and took off like a road runner through a fence with it, then commenced to ‘kill’ it – ie, shake the bag in it’s beak to get all the seed out of it. To spite the bird, I climbed the fence after it (mainly to get the bag off it and out of the garden). Nasty little critters. |

hehehe.... aren't bushturkeys annoying. At good ol' UQ there's bushturkeys all over the place. Once I was in a physics tute which was on the 3rd level and I looked out of the widow and there stuck in the tree was a bush turkey. It paced along the branches for like 15 mins and then it just jumped off. It landed right in front of some international students who screamed. It was hilarious ;D So should you go to UQ watch out for drop turkeys |
