That’s hilarious! My chickens would hate them though

Our run is covered with just a tarp. We have a lot of indian minors that like to fly in and steal the food we keep for them outside the pen. They've since learnt to dart between the bars but they're slower and my chooks are slowly getting more aggressive with them which is nice to see. Highly recommend a tarp. We just cable tied ours on.

Hi Aussies! Guess what? I only just learned that doing the Nutbush dance is an Aussie thing. Until 5 minutes ago, I thought it was done everywhere! What the heck...

I learnt that fairly recently too! I was pretty surprised, it's seemed like such a "normal" thing

I thought it was an American cultural import like sitcoms, cartoons and all that stuff.

Isn’t that a Tina Turner thing?

Turns out, no. She never danced it. We do it to her song but (little did I know) the dance was invented in New South Wales back in the 70s for primary school kids and it spread across Australia. We learn the steps when we're kids and if the song comes on, we all line up and start dancing. There are loads of videos with people doing the nutbush dance at weddings.

I've heard of this but never seen it danced & never done it myself. I'd already left school when it became a thing.

Wow, that's not my experience at all. Even the older people in my family will get up and dance for this one. Come to think of it, I guess they must've learned it in their 20s and 30s.

Did you know it was an Australian dance? I'm still blown away that it's not an American thing.

Yes, I knew it was Aussie ~I just couldn't figure out how because, like I said, I don't know anyone who does this.
