The cockatoo has not been caught.

You know about Australia's killer snakes and sharks. But birds? Jellyfish? These two stories about killer animals were the leads on the moning radio news:



Check out this story about a killer cockatoo:

And this killer jellyfish:

I'm lucky to have survived this long over here I guess.

I guess they need to put a Danger sign on that tree before the next person climbs it.
My dad used to tell a story about a Ford factory safety engineer who lost his foot demonstrating how a previous accident had happened.
Please don't rescue any birds; they can fly.
Love, Dad

hi ck, stay out of the water.
i was watching a show on australia with kate and lindy about 2 divers trying to catch these tiny killer jellyfish. their wet suits were supposed to keep them from being stung. as they are explaining how dangerous...no one should ever try this etc they both started getting stung. there is no antidote. the divers are in intense pain everybody is running around etc. then i changed the channel. this info is enough to keep lindy, kate and grammy out of the water in australia.
sent 2 packages to you
happy thanksgiving
love
