A Young Kookaburra
June 25th, 2007 @ 3:17 pm

Today mum told me about a young kookaburra that she saw yesterday that has broken his leg, she first saw it on the gate but Ruebens scared it away; but sometime after mum spotted this bird again on the closeline and hurried to give it some mince. The kookaburra definately appreciated mum’s kindness as it was back again on the gate, and this time mum gave it a bit of chicken carcass; she also told me she was worried that the carcass was a bit big for the bird but then saw it had no problems as it was bashing it against a tree.

    Watch those kookaburras, they get very bold. I remember a few years ago at the Carnarvon Gorge camp site, seeing a kooka swoop down and steal a man’s breakfast sausage from the very plate he was holding.

    Yeah they are rather bold. As I remember the one that got that green frog that I wrote a haiku poem about, it was also just a short distance in front me; as everytime it flew back to get the frog it got more bolder and bolder.

    Then the bird saw me as no threat, or maybe not as it probably saw me take my eyes away and then it took the squawking frog.
