Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

[Blooie]

Try living in Wyoming on the North Fork in your beautiful new home and frying bacon in the morning......grizzlies crawl out like cockroaches when the lights come on!

Edited to add: Wyoming recently legalized hunting with a silencer on your gun in certain areas because the sound of the gunshot sounds like the ringing of a dinner bell to the grizzlies, too.

I think my brother is starting to become one of us. He had been pretty dismissive of the whole chicken project here, didn't really help me out much other than when I really needed a third hand to hold something. Anyways, tonight when I got home from work he was telling me about how he was out looking at the girls and the white one with the blue paint on her was following him around while he was walking around the tractor, looking at him like he should give her a treat. He has tossed in stuffed before and watched them go full Velociraptor on the item. So he said he went in and got some hot dog buns and fed them out to them.

He likes Chicken TV!!!

They actually call the phenomena "dinner bell"
it is when a hunter is killed over a carcass.

Oh, yeah. In Montana there is a grizzly known to researchers as "the Dairy Queen bear" because it was discovered to be living under a porch or shed at a Dairy Queen in the middle of a small town. It caused no problems to residents. On the other hand, black bears wander into restaurants at Lake Tahoe.

Like most of the cassowaries that have nailed people, the black bears have learned to view people as a source of food - the difference being that, unlike cassowaries, black bears have been known to eat the people.

do they eat wallabies and kangaroos and if you want to come down here you have to go very far away sometimes to see animals or go to zoos but we have alot of animals that come into urban areas too such as possums galahs corellas cockys lorikeets red rumped parrots and rosellas some times on the news you can see kangaroos on the streets but it is rare if you want to come here come to melbourne the garden state as there is still a bit of rainforest in victoria and there are some parks that the animals love such as bundoora park so i think we have enough animals most of our big predators are extinct they are the thylacine and the marsupial lion

I wake up sometimes in the morning to see wallabys on the front lawn. Although not so often now, the neighbours have dogs. We get a ton of brush turkeys though, they are attracted to the chicken feed.

What is a "brush turkey." I assume it is not the American wild turkey - it is a native Australian bird?

Hmm..... I have heard kangaroos and wallabies described as being "marsupial deer" regarding their environmental niche. Cougars are happy to eat Bambis, so I suspect they would be interested in eating marsupial Bambis....

Of course, they also eat joggers and bicyclists.

Yes it's a large flightless black native bird.

​

They are pretty territorial and agressive, although there was a meek little one in the back yard that was looking at me so I gave it a bit of seed. It ate then left.
