“Kookaburra” comes from the Wiradjuri word guuguubarra, which imitates the bird’s laugh-like call.
They Beat Their Food to Death
Oh, and also: They are on my "Birds that bother me" list if they do their morning call within a kilometre of my tent.

Yes, their eye is particularly interesting (to me). It's an annoying cutie

they are territorial and assume the "other" bird is an intruder. There are a number of birds that do this here in Australia.

Birds that bother me: Gray Shrike-thrush
Beautiful to hear while perched in a tree, these annoying bastards can spend hours attacking themselves in the side mirrors. They add insult to injury by shitting on the car and then smearing it on the mirrors and a fairly wide circle of the car door.

목적지보다 여정이 더 중요합니다

I didn't see the elephant until you told me, but now I do. I saw it as a snapping turtle

yep, certainly something you don't want to land on you ;-)

and don't give bread to ANY animal - poor wallabies develop "lumpy jaw" from too much bread.

great shot! The buggers do go at it hard, don't they?

And now I want to re-read Tim Winton books

Let's see if I am mad or not. What does this boulder look like to you?

#anthropomorphism #getyourrocksoff

that's not adolescence. I would never have planned such a stunt, buying and bringing a female sex toy to a sporting event is premeditated and quite frankly, dangerous

but at such scale. It's a really worrying sign of a society in decline

Are American men OK?

As much as I like my screen time, staring at a campfire is just so much better

80 year old pedophile perves on young woman.

Would love to be on top of that mountain on a sunny day

That's not a stick insect, THIS is a stick insect

It certainly does get the blood pumping. Especially if it's when I pull down the sun visor and "surprise" 😀

Snitty the Psephological Cassowary!

YouTube video by Firstpost Australia Pro-Palestine Protest LIVE: Protesters Rally at Sydney Harbour Bridge Against Gaza Hunger

Tens of thousands walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of a pro-Palestinian protest. Surely this shows the will of the people to our politicians? Or is it Antisemitism again?

The young buck trying it on the grownup got it handed to him.

They do scare me at first sight when the suddenly appear next to me while I'm driving. But they really are more scared than me.

Spring can't be far away when you see the males challenging for head of the mob. These guys were playing nice, you can hear the thud and see fur flying when they get serious.

Even though you suspect that he's a pedophile, saying he isn't one until convicted makes you complicit. If you have any doubt, you should be demanding to find out!

they are an utter embarrassment to all Australians

yes they are! even the adults, unlike humans ;-)

The U.S. imports a wide range of products that are either not produced domestically or are produced in limited quantities due to cost, climate, or lack of resources. So either you pay more for imports, or pay more for "Made in America".

and who pays the actual tariff? Americans.

or what?
How many times has TACO made noises then changed the date or just blamed it on someone else?
How many times has TACO said he can stop the war in Ukraine?
