Damm Crows

Too smart for their own good.

Common raven is the smartest bird "they" say.

Remember watching a doco on ravens living in Japan and how they would get nuts from a tree in the park. Then fly over a road and drop them so the cars could crush them. After a couple got hit they learned to drop them on pedestrian crossings and pick the nuts up when the light went green

It was in Ace Ventura so it must be true!

Smart stuff.

People don't give other animals enough credit.

I remember a technique in an old shootiñg mag on how to shoot crows. You built a hide and with 20 of your mates enter the hide. Then 14 leave and 12 go bak then 6 leave and 7 return then 3 leave and 9 return then 2 new mates enter and leave immediately and so on until the crows are confused and then you may shoot one.

When I first started school, I learned to count to ten because I had ten digits.
So it stands to reason that if your dealing with crows in early school stages, you would only need seven people to confuse em cos they can only count to 6

If you ever really want to break out I have a trick that will let you count to 20!

I musta went to a "classy" school if you'll pardon the pun.
We weren't encouraged to take off our shoes during lessons.

And if you want to count to 21.......

You mean you had shoes? You are fancy.

Kick it up a notch! Cassowary

Cassowaries are the spawn of satan! Would rather have a water buff charge me than one of those bastards

[Pilch]

Always one poor tourist who gets a big too close for a pat to the pretty bird too

[threeoh]

Need to change those warning signs written in English to a trust old skull and cross-bones for all to understand

[Die Judicii]

Yay,, the cassowary is certainly one mean Mutha.

Casso = White fella be,,,,,,,,,
Wary = One nasty bird. (jus joshing)

Australia certainly has its fair share of nasties from the animal world, though most tourists (terrorists) don't realize it.

Though not a bird, how many people have googled and read accounts of attacks on people (even some on horseback) by our "lovely" and "furry" roos ??

we had about 4 crows that would consistently come and steal eggs from the chook house just down from the farm house at about 7 in the morning. had some mates stay over with their .22s and lined up a different one each from well inside the house shooting through a couple of windows. 4 very dead crows was a great result

Probably a reflection of US media but went I went to the US half the people I spoke with were terrified of the prospect of Australia because of the wildlife.

Deadly spider under every rock, snake in every bush, blue ringed occy in every pond.

Sent this one to a Swedish friend who's coming over here to work. Told her it's a tourist brochure

[beepar]

Clock spider

[anthillinside]

Clock Spiders, Rock Spiders,
What I don't want is GLOCK spiders living in my barrels, a close relative of the funnel web i hear.
And the Tourist pamphlet doesn't even mention of drop bears or hoop snakes.
