The only cute magpies are dead ones!

One of our pastors said at hillsong women on thursday she got attacked by a magpie - we were like go Lucinda your one of us now!

have you been warned about drop bears?

 

[ladylike]

i rememeber once being told that if you face it and keep looking at it it's less likely to swoop. is that true?

they only swoop for a few weeks a year lou

I do that, seems to work. Usually they just look at me and go on pecking the grass for bugs.

We have a family of Plovers that have decided to build their nest smack bang in the middle of the patch of lawn next to our house, and take offence to anyone coming within 20 feet of it... which is unfortunate... they harass the geese and the ducks, and generally make a nuisance of themselves... but their babies are kind of cute.

This thread reminds me of this song....

Deadly Animals
By The Scared Weird Little Guys

Redback, Funnel-Web, Blue-ringed octopus
Taipan, Tigersnake and a Box jellyfish
Stonefish and the poison thing that lives in a shell
That spikes you when you pick it up

Come to Australia
You might accidentally get killed

Your life's constantly under threat
Have you been bitten yet?
You've only got three minutes left
Before a massive coronary breakdown

Redback, Funnel-Web, Blue-ringed octopus
Tiapan, Tigersnake and a Box jellyfish
Big shark just waiting for you to go swimming
At Bondi Beach

Come to Australia
You might accidentally get killed
Your blood is bound to be spilled
With fear your pants will be filled
Because you might accidentally get killed

Oh I used to get swooped by the ploovers at the primary school I went too.... you couldn't even go on the play equipment without getting swooped by them..... the kids liked to play with the birds, but the teachers didn't

Then those minor birds..... they wake me up in the morning make a racket everytime a cat comes by, they are always attacking the neibourhood cats as well as my cat

my friend has pet rainbow loorakeeds, they loved attacking your feet I can tell you that now
