Thread: Wild animal attack NZ!

I took my boy out on his bike yesterday. We stopped for a rest and a pair of turkeys came trundling along. They came towards us, getting closer and closer. The male took an interest in my boy. I told him to stay still and like any good modern parent, got my phone out to take a photo, then...




In sequence...



We were not feeding those birds, or interacting/agitating them in any way.

Boy is fine, although I fear he made develop PTSD - post turkey stress disorder

Maybe it's karma? This photo was taken last year...

hahahahahaha quality!

Did you edit out the photo of him drop kicking it back down the road

He was crying his eyes out, saying we should go home and get the gun!

Mate the best thing you can do is let him eat that fucker and his mate.

That turkey has a date with your stove

I love turkeys, they taste delicious.

Invite it for dinner and drinks to make pea-sauce (Peace)

You!
It is you.
You're the arsewipe what killed me brudda.
Zap!
Pow!
An a kick up the arse.
Losers corner over dere.
You shall not pass this way.

Good camera skill

Would say there still too many crickets around to make them edible.

She’s been a dry season. Yes there’s still a few crickets lurking around...

I hope he's ok about it long term. It's illogical I know but I'm still wary all birds due to turkey attack at similar age. Can feed ducks at park but bugger going near swans, geese, turkeys etc.

Yep had a mate that told me he was afraid of birds. Im like sure But anyway he told this funny ass story about nearly getting run over by a double decker buses the first day in London when he visited Trafalgar Square and the pigeons flew up in mass....he tried to get away and ran full tilt out into the road. Dame meeting your maker by way of a Route master.

When he told this tail of woe I did not believe him for one second. We were in Egypt at the time travelling down to Luxor we arrived and were staying in this backpackers in this one way street. It was Ramadan and so all the stores were closed during the day. I had seen this rotisserie chicken joint. Now they need to do there chickens fresh as they have no freezers and who would want to trust a frozen Egyptian chicken? We did our visits to the valley of the kings and other temples and were going to catch the train back down to Cairo that night. We got ready to leave and as we walked past this chicken shop I grabbed my mate by the arm and turned him sideways so he got a full face view of old mate chopping the head of this bird and throwing it into the 44 gallon drum, where it proceeded to jump and flap around spraying blood in all directions.

He was a biggish chap and took out a few of the scrawny curio sellers in his head long rush, backpack flailing as Egyptians were bowled over with there dishdas billowing into the wind. Looking like some Matrix movie gone bad.

Once we caught up with him I had to get him a few black market beers to still his shacking nerves. He saw the funny side of it. Lucky for me.

Monkeys too, had one cling to my arm as a kid. Took a decent bite of my thumb, the bugger. It still hurts when I look at the scar 55 years later.

Its the sandals
