Move over, let me scratch through there

Uploaded: July 28, 2008

Description

Tony was unloading the trailer with the help of this Kookaburra. No matter what we move in the yard they are there beside us looking for something to eat. We have to watch out for them all the time, you never know where they are. Lens aperture F/2.8, shutter speed 1/60sec, focal length 6mm, Taken in our carport.

Thanks a lot. They are always hanging around, they know where the food is. They just look if I pat them. Yes thanks, I'm on the mend. #6247800

Why do you have to watch for them, do they attack?
I love all your birds that come to your yard, VERY COOL!!!

No they don't attack, you just have to be careful not to walk on them or sit on them. They are so trusting of us they don't watch out, we have to!!!! #6310582
