Wubba lubba dub dub!
Managed to get up close to a kookaburra a while back, and for a laugh decided to wiggle my finger at it pretending it was sausage or something (kids had previously been feeding it biscuits). So it bit. And didn't let go. I was shaking my finger around while it was flapping around in the air and wouldn't let go.Moad said:Bribie sorry to be a wet blanket but I don't think mince is great for birds. We get lets of Kookaburras and the mrs was feeding them mince, they shat everywhere and kept coming back all the time. I liked having them around but I didn't like the **** everywhere so I looked up what to feed them so they didn't **** everywhere. I seem to remember reading mince = bad. Gets stuck in their beaks, can go rotten and kill them or something...
It wasn't until I went to grab the bugger with my other hand that it decided I'd learned my lesson and flew off.
So, don't feed them fingers either.
