Poo identification - snake, gecko or something else?

... and the occasional pelican is seen.

I take it from this that you've never actually experienced pelican crap. I suggest taking a drive to Redcliffe and crossing the bridge back and forth until you do. You will find that pelicans crap about 12L of stuff at a time, making it very recognisable!

I promise I'll make less weird threads from now on.

Despite all the comedy, it's nice to se you're optimistic and open to future poo posts

In all seriousness, it is most likely a bird - I thought you could have been close to the mark with the ibis guess.

Morning all, thanks for the ongoing suggestions. I think we're getting closer to ID'ing what did this. I'll be keeping a close eye on next door's chooks for starters.

As for the other bird theories, I'm still unsure. I've not seen an ibis in the garden for months - I'm out there quite a bit as my little boy is very keen on playing outside. However, I wasn't aware that birds had uric acid similar to reptiles.

@BadNewsSham - sorry, I wasn't suggesting that it was some sort of super-gecko! I was merely saying it looked similar but obviously much larger, so I was guessing that the blue-tongued skink I've seen around might have been responsible. Thanks very much for the book recommendation. I prob will end up checking it out just to satisfy my curiosity.

I'll update this thread if I discover anything else to report. Thanks again to all of you.
