More animal stories from the weekend - on the first night, a kookaburra zipped in and took food off my husband's plate, some spaghetti bolognaise. He flew back to his tree and then called all his friends who came over to see if they could get some. We finished our meal all hunched over our bowls, guarding our food.
The next day we had a sentry on duty while we BBQed, and took care when eating meat. However, while serving dessert, the kookaburra swooped in and took off with a Portuguese tart.
The following morning he got a piece of toast from one of the kids hands as it made it's way to her mouth!
So despite our best efforts not to feed the wildlife, they got fed all the same, and almost every meal included some shrieking.
Thankfully he didn't want the cocktails or champagne!

Kookaburras are such magnificent birds! I had no idea though that they steal food like that!
ReplyDeleteStealing a tart is one thing. If they started filching the Champagne it's war!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, they are brave birds!
ReplyDeleteHello :=)
ReplyDeleteThey are magnificent birds but cheeky. I would have been mad if they had stolen my "Nata" Portuguese tart.
Little devils! We don't have them here but we have seagulls that will take any food they like the look of from your hand!
ReplyDeleteHe's a fearless little guy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds they are and I drank some of your champagne.

Only when he keeps his distance! Ha!
DeleteI'm sorry. It's being super weird at the moment.
