American Looks at the Funniest Videos to Come out of Australia

"Birds used to be dinosaurs." Cassowaries: "What do you mean, used to be?"

[@peterclancy3653]

When I was working in a remote area on a mining project a road kill roo had mostly dried out and someone stood it up and put a smoke in its mouth. The project engineer told all of us that this was grossly unacceptable and not to be repeated! Next day the roo had a hard hat , sunglasses, a reflective vest and work gloves on and holding a men at work sign! No comment from management!

The cassowary and emu encounters wouldn't have happened if idiots didn't persist in feeding the bloody things. Good to see the people tried to avoid the birds stealing their food. They're wild animals and should be naturally wary of human contact and try to avoid us. They should not be happy to join our picnics expecting to get food. The same problem occurs with very large monitor lizards and dingoes in some parts. It's not safe for humans, and it's not safe for the animals, especially when they get refused food and get vicious about it and attack a human, then have to be killed to avoid it happening again. Feeding wildlife is a stupid, dangerous, and very harmful thing to do, and it's almost always tourists that do it.

[@namewithheldbygoogleforsec673]

unfortunately they DO get accustomed to having people nearby, and will get curious to some extent.Its not always because people feed them, quite often it can be just that they get used to people being in their vicinity. Some birds can be naturally curious when they smell or see food. Emus and cassowaries are big and formidable birds, and have been known to "stand their ground", so it wouldnt be that unusual for them to take advantage of non-threatening looking people and grab anything they think they can eat. Even indigenous Australians before colonisation would have encountered them around where they eat. But yes, some people do like to feed wild animals.

[@namewithheldbygoogleforsec673]

@stephenwhitton9681 agreed, but it's a bit of a two way street, a catch 22 situation. they are big birds and curious, and sometimes it can start because people have food, and if they are hungry enough and food is scarce where they are (all birds are scavengers at times), they will try and grab our food (i have seen samll birds swoop down from above and swipe food from plates), and we are taught that we need to be careful around them, because they have sharp beaks, and talons, and quite often if we are confronted by them we throw food to get them away from us so that we can flee, thus encouraging the birds to try the same thing on the next group of people they encounter. But yes, there are times when people just feed them.

Aussie pubs are different to the American taverns and bars. A friend is the landlady of a small metropolitan pub here in Adelaide that is 170 years old, (The pub, not my friend). It is kids and dogs friendly, not to mention the occasional cockatoo. Beer, wine and spirits are served, as well as lunch and dinner meals. Even the Prime Minister of Australia recently dropped in for a beer. Without a press contingent. Australia is that kind of place, wouldn't live anywhere else.

@IWrocker, many years ago, when i was a young teen, my Aunt took a friend, my friend's mother, my mother and I to Warrnambool Victoria for a holiday staying in a caravan park. While there we went to Tower Hill (an inactive volcano) for a picnic lunch. There were wooden tables and benches to sit and eat. We placed our sandwichs and drinks in the middle of the table and started eating. While we were eating about a dozen or so Emus sauntered up to our table and surrounded us. My friends Mum was sitting next to me. She had a sandwich in her hand, cut diagonally from corner to corner, and one of the Emus snatched it from her hand (much like the cassowary in the video) and swallowed it. We put all remaining foor back in the basket and ran back to my aunts car (a Holden Kingswood de-commissioned police car) as fast as we could. Those Emus chased after us. When we were in the car, the emus surrounded the car, pecking/knocking on the windows with their beaks. My aunt inched the car forward til the emus standing in front moved away, then she floored the accelerator and drove away, and those Emus ran after us. My aunt accelerated and sped off, dust from the gravel drive visible through the back window. It was hilarious!!! A little side note. Went to Melbourne Zoo as a child with my class for a school excursion, and a Cassowary poked me in the face with it's beak. I guess it thought I was playing the staring game, which i wasnt, it was in the middle of the enclosure and it ran across to me and BONK!!!! it got me in the tender spot between the upper lip and the nose. 🤣😂

True event 1989. During basic training to become a soldier in the Australian army, in late winter. We we're marching the platoon to the gym. Out of nowhere comes an Emu. The young male bird headed straight at one of the recruits, a lad with snow white hair. The bird knocked him over and tried to mate with him. He got up off the ground while we distracted the bird. It ran off in typical Emu fashion. Zig zagging everywhere. The whole platoon cracked up instructors included.

We had one called "Bob" which Aussie soldiers know the meaning of. We used to hand feed him and he would walk along the line for the mess and try and take peoples kfs sets!

When I'd finished and started towards the doorway, I noticed a 1.5M long goanna on the top of the wall just above the exit door. It was one of those cinder block loos with a gap between the top of the wall and the roof. In Melbourne we might see a possum on top of the wall. A goanna that size was a bit of a shock.

Once, sitting in Post Office Square (Central Brisbane) I watched an Ibis pinch a guys entire 1/4 chicken and run like Wiley was after him. Another nicked his chips on the side! Everyone else calls them bin chickens but I call them vultures! Also, mullets are for Bogans!

Thats Australia 😂

The kid with the mullett hairdo!!!. Emu's can be a pain though.

That cassowary is at Etty Bay in north Queensland. The cassowaries there became habituated to people after Cyclone Larry in 2006 stripped the rainforest bare in that area. Rangers brought fruit for the birds for nearly a year and the birds started to become used to people. Its illegal to feed them now and tourists really should try harder to not let the birds get their food.

This is very Dangerous. This bird is a very old species. It, if angry can disembowel you. Second one is an Emu. Take a Ganda at their feet. Raptors !

First the emu headbutts mullet boy, then he steals his breaky!😂😅 "Flow and grace"? Two words that are probably the last two that I'd use to describe a couple of us Aussie's arguing!😂

Pulled in to the Roadhouse at Marla South Aus 159 km to Northern Territory border and there’s a goose keeping all the flying birds away and patrolling the caravan park area

Cassowaries and emus could gut you - straight down your abs like butter - with one swipe of the claws on their feet, emus need careful handling but cassowaries are very aggressive, no matter how much they've been "tamed" by idiots feeding them/leaving food rubbish behind. That mother had a tiny, curly-haired toddler opposite her that she should have - calmly but quickly - taken to safety. Not funny.

I wanted to check whether Cassowaries had actually killed humans before commenting and found this "Cassowaries are intimidating birds ... they are big (3rd tallest bird in world and 2nd heaviest), and they are one of the few birds actually known to have killed people. They are also known for frequent and severe attacks on zoo keepers, and they have also killed other animals, including horses." (How Dangerous is the Cassowary). Either fight for your chip sandwich or sacrifice it, as the bird isn't going to give up! I've seen a chicken on a leash and attacked by endless birds, yet haven't had the pleasure of meeting a Cassowary face to face yet. As for the cyclists riding two abreast, whether cops or not, this is illegal. Cyclists should always be riding single file whenever traffic is on the road or else they are blocking the road. I drive a rather large vehicle and would hardly have made it around the cyclists without going off the other side of the road. The cops, if true, we're breaking the law and wouldn't have a Case.🇦🇺

Pretty sure he's a 'roo. A young male Eastern Grey Kangaroo to be particular. Wallabies are a bit "pudgier". A full grown wallaby isn't going to get much over 3'. Look at the animal when it's beside the pool table. A pool table should be about 2.5' tall and I'd guess that if this youngin' was standing up, he'd be taller then the table by a bit.
