Wow...

Over here stateside... we always feel jealous that you all have wild parrots to enjoy. I think we forget just how destructive they can be. Here we get upset if we need to call the exterminator for some silly little termites... I cannot imaging having my house used as a chew toy by a whole flock of bored 'toos on a toothpick making mission!

Robyn you said it, I can see why the birds thought those were big playstands. I think I'd be going with brick there.

Oh my...I have heard Aussie's refer to their wild cockatoos like our crows. I have never had a crow damage any wood on my house. I can't image what it would be like. Knowing how much I love all creatures; stupid me would have been feeding them too....

Wtf was that silly git of a woman doing with that little gun? I hate people like that. Unless you have cosmic sniper skills, don't be a dumb--- and just shoot things wildly without even flippin' aiming!

Oh sorry Johnny, your dog got a bullet, Ooh and Mary's son was in the street...Oops..

I thought so too, but there was a small clap/pop when she fired. So I figured it was a little 'princess' .22 or .380

...though, if it WAS a squirt gun, it would hold what... an ounce of water and have the water pressure of a baby mouse peeing? That would be THE champion video for FAIL in the world and I'd have to slide out of my chair laughing for a while.

May have been an actual cap gun. Remember those? I think they are now illegal in the States.
