"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
It says much about our cousins across the Tasman (those that are still across the Tasman of course rather than living in Australia), that their most dangerous animals are the parrot and the sheep. Living in a place filled with animals who will eat or poison you without a moment's hesitation, I can only imagine such tranquility.

A kea I'd believe. Little bastards are inquisitive and acquisitive. They'll filch anything that grabs their attention.
ReplyDeleteYep, leave your car unattended in the wrong place and you may come back to find it has no windscreen wipers left. Campers can also lose "loose" items. I say "loose" because until the Kea came along, you might not have thought the item was, in fact, "loose". They do appear to have a sense of humour though, a low down, rotten, sense (like they're laughing at you not with you) of humour, but it is sort of funny.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Ed! Those things sound like flying pack-rats.
