mike carey Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) This tweet has a clip from last night's ACT version of the ABC news. It's a great video but the news reader should stop writing his own material. https://twitter.com/Dan_Bourchier/status/1430336168684494848?s=20 Edited August 25, 2021 by mike carey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike carey Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 A sight I have seen in Australian national parks, where birds know that people will feed them, and we do have some spectacularly coloured parrots. Here, in a tangent from its election coverage, DW posted a flock of rainbow lorikeets that had descended on Angela Merkel in a visit to a bird park in her constituency. The expression on her face in the first photo is priceless. https://www.dw.com/en/parrots-swoop-in-for-angela-merkels-swan-song/a-59293171 When they tweeted that photo, their caption was 'BEST.PHOTO OP.EVER!'

That looks like her face when Trump (or was it Bush Jr.?) put his hand on Angela Merkel's shoulder. When Australia and birds come to mind, the first one I think about is the deadly cassowary, which can rip your guts out with one stroke. Australia always seems so rife with deadly animals, on land and in the sea. The second bird I think from Australia is the kookaburra. At least those won't kill you!

We are, of course, the home of all sorts of animals that will kill you, but many of the birds (and other animals) are engaging, kookaburras included! As for the deadly animals, they are easy, for the most part, to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the deadly animals, they are easy, for the most part, to avoid. Yes, as long as you swim within meshed areas of the beaches so you don't get killed by blue-ringed octopuses, jellies, sharks, salties, and the like... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7967433/Shocked-man-finds-deadly-blue-ringed-octopus-kids-paddling-pool-popular-Sydney-beach.html "If you want to swim the waters of the aptly named Cape Tribulation, Cape-Trib.com suggests you wear a “stinger suit” as the area is home to a lot of stinging jellyfish. Saltwater crocodiles are also prevalent; the locals advise visitors stay away from swimming in the mouths of rivers. If that’s not enough to keep you out of the water, consider these obstacles: Cassowaries – big flightless birds – whose dagger-like claws “can disembowel you,” and stinging trees which, yes, can actually sting you quite painfully with their jagged-edged leaves."
