My dog and I were sitting on an old logging skid site one evening glassing some clearings and some keas joined us. One of them hopped along the same log the dog was on and she started looking at me really nervous so I told her to stay there, the kea bounced along slowly and when the dog looked around at me it bit onto her foot. Jesus did the poor dog scream.

Keas are bastards as well though.
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 tried to be clever and link straight to old photos on facebook, didn't work. Try these instead:
