Currawongs: they're terrifying! Apart from the terrible yellow eyes and enormous beak, they fear nothing and will eat smaller birds. They'll also stare down humans, and (at least once) motor vehicles. Naturally, they have a charming, melodious whistle. :\

Those possums :3 It's a possum party!

They're stackable! What an efficient animal.

Oh man, possums are the cutest. I wish we had them in the states, and NOT the hideous and prone to playing dead in front of my speeding car opossums.

I would also slap that currawong in the beak.

Aw, opossums have that "stem mammal lineage" charm!

True. I'd probably like them a lot more if they didn't always decide to just keel over in front of me while I'm going 65 mph.

Oh gosh, dat bird. DAT BIRD. I want one.

And O, the manatee. Your posts are the best posts.

lol perving currawong.

I was wondering where you were...moving house...it all makes sense now!

americanbeetles January 28 2011, 04:41:45 UTC

Indeed! Fewer cockies, more pervy currawongs, but otherwise a pretty great new Chickenhouse. Good luck with your interview, btw-- may you completely obliterate the competition!

Thanks!

I got the job! XD
