    You have a lot of unanswered questions Gibo. Because, because, because.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I can't get the sound to work for some reason, but I videoed during my walk around the base of the hill the other night. Three Tui were having a little sing off in the trees around me, then one decided to crack out his best Plover alert cry impression. Then about seven Tui chimed in! It was really cool, they obviously have been out the back of the paddocks and picked up the squawk of a plover.

    Tui are amazing birds Jet was looking around for the plover to chase!
