Look at what my 19 month old son bought in to us yesterday!!



We took it straight back outside and it flew off into a tree

Nooooo idea how he managed to get it!

He was VERY proud tho and cried when it flew off :shock:

 

[dintony]

He kept telling his Dad..."Mine...ta...mine....TA....MINE!!"

 

[Helikaon]

now that is an effort i wonder how he did it.

 

[rebeccalg]

my best friends son managed to some how bring a penguin back from phillip island in the car a 4 hr trip they found out that night when they went into the bathroom to find out what all the fuss was over and found their son trying to bath it. they rang the penguin place up there and they thought she was talking about a stuffed toy and told them to post it ha ha
they had to drive it back

 

[dintony]

I know.... All I heard was... "Muuuuum....he's got a bird!!!!!!! Muuuummmmm QUICK!! It's alive!! MUUUMMMM!!!"

Couldn't believe my eyes!

Thinking it must have hit the window and was a bit dazed.

The little dog was tied up and the big dog (big big dog...great dane) is scared of anything like that... even frogs!

As i understand it they are a rather feral species.
If caught they shouldn't be released, but rather destroyed.

 

[Tatelina]

What a nice coloured bird... I wonder how he did it.
Maybe he would benefit from having a a budgie in the family? *shrug*

 

[moloch05]

The bird is a Sacred Kingfisher.

I hope the bird is ok. Quite often we find kingfishers just sitting on the ground & allow us to pick them up. They can fly but not strong - I let one go in our house. He seemed to be ok so I opened the door and let him out only to watch him fly 3 houses up into a backyard and taken by their dog :cry: I was really upset, should not have let him go, knowing how easy I picked him up to begin with

Guarantee his first word will be "Crikey"
