Simmo W Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Speaking of birds, we still laugh about a BBQ we had up at Merimbula once. A couple of large magpies got very friendly and started eating the margarine straight out of the tub. Funny eh. Even funnier was the sight of our dad running up the hill, chasing a magpie hauling a rather large Tbone steak in its beak, barely gaining any lift as it struggled to make its getaway! We never got it back :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Russell Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I had a butcher bird land about 30cm away once when I was eating my lunch; a delicious pie.I ignored it, it's just a bird after-all... what harm can it do?Then without warning it took a flying gulp of my damn pie and flew off! ...right out of my hands, between bites.Cheeky little shit. I don't trust them anymore and wont tolerate them sitting around when I'm eating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hueyman Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Lol Ben , you were unlucky that day.. I MUCH prefer bird than spiders, even if both are usually totally inoffensive.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozer Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I was in the passenger seat when my mum nearly ran over a wedgetailed eagle (or wedgetail eagle?). She mistook it for the dead wallaby she'd driven past earlier that morning. Having seen this article I'm glad she stopped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ntr09 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 And about those earthworms you have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo W Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks mate, I forgot about them. Funny, we're only a couple of hrs drive from the big worms, but have never checked them out. I wonder why?They're not lethal - unless you eat a whole one, raw. I hear they taste quit nice poached, a similar flavor to Koala or smoked Echidnahttp://scienceblogs.com/zooillogix/2008/05/giant_blue_earthworms_and_frie.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntr09 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I was talking about these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Gippsland_earthworm But eating a large blue worm is something I probably wouldn't do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
