Guest51810 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I dont know if this will be any good but thought i'd start a wildlife thread since some of us are interested in it. Can put up pics, funny stories etc. Either country! like ive said before - i love feeding the birds. I have two magpies in the garden, they seem really tame or cheeky! Dave said a few weeks ago that one tried to come into the house but i thought he was winding me up. Yesterday i heard this noise but thought it was the dogs so went to check. The magpie was hitting the patio door window lol! It flew away as soon as it saw me. Ive just caught two of them at the patio door again there!

wolvesaussie Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hand feed the Rainbow Lorekeets (Spelling??) today in the back garden, birds around here are great, tho my brother says the Cockatoos with the yellow MR T cuts eat the wooden deck and can be trouble. The dog is currently at the window keeping his eye out for the Wombat, he does it every night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugby Lad Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Was out at the Showground / horse racing track yesterday and there was a mob of kangaroos well over a hundred strong. Driving on the Pillaga road the other night there were thousands of the suicidal bastards. Went for a long walk with the kids and dog today. Saw loads of Kookaburras close up as well as pelicans, koalas, kangaroos and numerous birds of prey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zk2102 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 The swans on our village pond have just become parents to three gorgeous signets. They only took up residence last year after our other pair were killed by an out of control dog we've all been watching them for months, building the nest and caring for the eggs. Such a beautiful sight on the way to work in the mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They chase people and try to attack dogs when they go past. They've became that used to people that they try snatch your food. So i base my fear on these swans lol although theres ones closer to me that are a bit nicer. They're gorgeous to look at though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest51810 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Nah these ones arent nesting, they hang around the car parks lol but i've met ones who were nesting. Just stay away from those - we saw this idiot family trying to touch the swan when it was nesting, total idiots. Lol yeah i'd rather face a swan than a shark!

Cal2 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 My mates, in Florida, went out for a walk around a wildlife reserve yesterday. Whilst turning round to look and photograph a particularly beautiful butterfly, they turned back round only to see a 7ft gator walking across the path about 20ft ahead, said friend apparently exclaimed holy sh1t!
