When I was working in a remote area on a mining project a road kill roo had mostly dried out and someone stood it up and put a smoke in its mouth. The project engineer told all of us that this was grossly unacceptable and not to be repeated! Next day the roo had a hard hat
, sunglasses, a reflective vest and work gloves on and holding a men at work sign! No comment from management!
😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO now that's Aussie.
The cassowary and emu encounters wouldn't have happened if idiots didn't persist in feeding the bloody things. Good to see the people tried to avoid the birds stealing their food. They're wild animals and should be naturally wary of human contact and try to avoid us. They should not be happy to join our picnics expecting to get food. The same problem occurs with very large monitor lizards and dingoes in some parts. It's not safe for humans, and it's not safe for the animals, especially when they get refused food and get vicious about it and attack a human, then have to be killed to avoid it happening again. Feeding wildlife is a stupid, dangerous, and very harmful thing to do, and it's almost always tourists that do it.
unfortunately they DO get accustomed to having people nearby, and will get curious to some extent.Its not always because people feed them, quite often it can be just that they get used to people being in their vicinity. Some birds can be naturally curious when they smell or see food. Emus and cassowaries are big and formidable birds, and have been known to "stand their ground", so it wouldnt be that unusual for them to take advantage of non-threatening looking people and grab anything they think they can eat. Even indigenous Australians before colonisation would have encountered them around where they eat. But yes, some people do like to feed wild animals.
I've had black swans and emus stealing food from us but there's no way I'd want a cassowary near me.
US - Bar hopping, Australia - Pub crawl.
australian bar hopping: 13:07
Aussie pubs are different to the American taverns and bars. A friend is the landlady of a small metropolitan pub here in Adelaide that is 170 years old, (The pub, not my friend). It is kids and dogs friendly, not to mention the occasional cockatoo. Beer, wine and spirits are served, as well as lunch and dinner meals. Even the Prime Minister of Australia recently dropped in for a beer. Without a press contingent. Australia is that kind of place, wouldn't live anywhere else.
That’s actually really cool 🎉
Really cool, but I don’t like kid friendly pubs.
Just saying 😎
@IWrocker, many years ago, when i was a young teen, my Aunt took a friend, my friend's mother, my mother and I to Warrnambool Victoria for a holiday staying in a caravan park. While there we went to Tower Hill (an inactive volcano) for a picnic lunch. There were wooden tables and benches to sit and eat. We placed our sandwichs and drinks in the middle of the table and started eating. While we were eating about a dozen or so Emus sauntered up to our table and surrounded us.
My friends Mum was sitting next to me. She had a sandwich in her hand, cut diagonally from corner to corner, and one of the Emus snatched it from her hand (much like the cassowary in the video) and swallowed it. We put all remaining foor back in the basket and ran back to my aunts car (a Holden Kingswood de-commissioned police car) as fast as we could. Those Emus chased after us. When we were in the car, the emus surrounded the car, pecking/knocking on the windows with their beaks. My aunt inched the car forward til the emus standing in front moved away, then she floored the accelerator and drove away, and those Emus ran after us. My aunt accelerated and sped off, dust from the gravel drive visible through the back window. It was hilarious!!!
A little side note. Went to Melbourne Zoo as a child with my class for a school excursion, and a Cassowary poked me in the face with it's beak. I guess it thought I was playing the staring game, which i wasnt, it was in the middle of the enclosure and it ran across to me and BONK!!!! it got me in the tender spot between the upper lip and the nose.
🤣😂
The guy won a fight against a croc, with several upper cuts and the croc hasn't been able to show his face to his peers again from embarrassment. Lmao
Croc, last seen going into retirement‼
That Cassowary must've been use to people... Gotta remember they are in tiny part of FNQ (which is pretty massive admittedly), so most of us will never see a wild one. But those girls handled it like pro's, stayed calm, didnt give the bird cause to be alarmed, and she was spot on about restricting the food... though the bird was pretty wily...
True event 1989. During basic training to become a soldier in the Australian army, in late winter. We we're marching the platoon to the gym. Out of nowhere comes an Emu. The young male bird headed straight at one of the recruits, a lad with snow white hair.
The bird knocked him over and tried to mate with him. He got up off the ground while we distracted the bird. It ran off in typical Emu fashion. Zig zagging everywhere. The whole platoon cracked up instructors included.
We had one called "Bob" which Aussie soldiers know the meaning of. We used to hand feed him and he would walk along the line for the mess and try and take peoples kfs sets! He had a thing for "shiny" objects and when we would take a smoke break away from our weapons, he would wander up and start eating any loose drill rounds (empty cartridges painted silver used to practice loading magazines, stoppage drills etc). This was a.common L&D report (Loss and Damage) to the stores!
i was there
club med kapooka
@@cjryan88 Did it in winter..The freezing cold dam crossing was not mentioned in the tour brochure.
Smiths chips on a sandwich, now THAT is true blue Australian snack food right there.
The Roo in the pub was a young male Eastern Grey…
Whilst he was not exactly a joey, he still has a good size to grow yet.
0:22 That's dangerous. Like bears they see humans as a food source. They can also split you open like an apple with one kick.
Yes, please don't feed the wildlife! 🤨
Here in Lisbon and also in Porto we have seagulls. Here we say: seagulls on land, a sign of a storm at sea. When it happens, don't even think about walking around with food in your hand. They really attack
Geese know not to mess with aussies, they know their place on the food chain !
Yeah that was a roo in the pub not a wallaby, just not fully grown.
Yeah, that's what I thought. It's a one or two yr old Kangaroo, not a wallaby it's too big to be a wallaby.
Going by the animals found here, Australia was The Land That Time Forgot (1974 movie based on American author Edgar Rice Burroughs' 1918 novel of the same name) before the Poms invaded it! I have lived here for all my 54 years and I am still in awe of some of our wildlife...
The bar hopping Kangaroo, did not appreciate the company inside that day, so he popped outside to have his beer at a garden table with his friend Eric the Emu! 😁👍
Waal the wombat was in getting a round!
@@infin8ee Yes! 😄
@@infin8ee And they even met Dirk the Dingo!
The Cassowary here is at a beach in north Queensland. After a devastating cyclone the Cassowaries food source was demolished. People in this area fed them to keep them alive. Although their normal food sources have returned they still travel along this beach almost daily.
12:15 the guy picked the goose a garlic weed flower' they love it!
Road toads are the worst! Our council spent millions $ building them a cycle path & they still ride on the road 😡
I’ve had a kookaburra steal my lunch at a cafe. Flew down and grabbed it just as I was about to put it in my mouth.
I think I’ve been to the same place, it was/is a known spot
Yep. They are cunning little buggas. Whip your food right out of your hand when it's almost in your mouth. Also seen one take off with my friends steak in the beer garden.
Bar hopping in Oz is called a ....... pub crawl. 😊😊
I can safely say that I’ve never seen anyone walking a goose either. It’s about as common in Australia as it is in the U.S.!!!
I was in Sydney (out west) and while waiting for the "walk" sign at the crossing , saw what I thought was a man dragging a small fluffy dog. When he crossed I realised that he was walking his ferret. Never seen anything like that before or since .
@@infin8ee lol now thats funny!!
@@infin8eeearlier, l just drove out the paddock to get my bottle fed lamb in for the night ...called, she came running and jumped up onto my lap for the drive back! Just another day in Straya...
@@infin8ee Back in the 80's we were driving towards Sydney on Canterbury road and a ferret ran out onto the road, I pulled of my flanno and told my mate to pull over and i chased the bloody thing and caught it, I put it in the glovebox and took it home. My mate made a really cool enclosure for it full of neat , joined PVC pipe pieces . He had it for years before it died... Cool pet...
@@MickH60 I've been told they make good pets but I'll stick to my working dogs!
We walked our duck....she always came on day trips and holidays with us.❤
A mate once picked up a Casawary chick in that moment we learnt Harry was faster than Bolt and part monkey !
Those two men riding their bikes on the road were actually off-duty cops.👮♂️
IIRC old mate copped charges for driving on the bike path.
I've also seen that video before. You're right, those guys on the bikes were off duty cops out for a ride. And yes, the clown in the car caught a small list of charges for his efforts.
Omg that kid with the mullet lost his egg and bacon sandwich to the Emu. Admittedly the bird conducted a great assault on the sandwich, but I would have been pissed lol.
That would have been a bucks group at the pub
At the zoo when 9 years old was at Cassowary habitat never having seen one before. Out of nowhere a Cassowary raced over to where I was standing behind a fence that would've been chest high on an adult. It seemed to leap and push forward and it's hard head got me on my forehead and it kept coming for me to peck me, it was terrifying. Their feet are nasty too, those people obviously don't realise how aggressive they are.
Happened to me in Sydney - Central station outdoor cafe, the cockatoo snatched the fish from my hand and another one snatched my chips 🥰
lucky it wasn't the seagullsy, they are demons in that area. love what they have done to central station since i left but i do miss the hungry jacks inside were i would get dinner before the train to the blue mountains for my commute home.
Yep I've experienced at least 2 times a roo wondering into an outback pub, it's usually because it's trusting the bar personal to feed it or give it water ( rarely aggressive)
It’s grey so I would say it’s a young kangaroo, an Eastern Grey.
Ian, did you hear about the sinkhole that opened up under a soccer field?
Bar hopping in Australia is called a Pub Crawl
In the UK many years ago I had a similar experience with a peacock trying to steal my lunch. I had just opened up my coolbox/eski/chillybin, and after piling the food back in the box only fir the bird to get on the table, I used the lid as a gentle persuader to shoo it away.
The cassowary is so bad ass that it will eat a whole mango and the stone will pass through them intact
What did the donkey do to make him bad?
WTF?
@@lesflynn4455Find "ass" in a dictionary.
@@grantodaniel7053 I was referring to the discomfort of a mango seed passing through a digestive tract and out of one's anus. I did not specify that in my previous message. Izzat clear now?
Now you know why its the BEST place in the world to live.
Port Wakefield in South Australia is home to seagulls/silver gulls that will literally mug you for food (hot chips etc) if you walk out from a shop with it lol
there is one area in sydney, one of the islands i think that they have actually made off limits to anyone because the seagulls became so violent in stealing food.
Victor Harbor too...and there are signs everywhere Not to feed them.....but dipshits still do 😖
Do these two know how dangerous this bird can be?😳
I.W. all of Oz appreciates you saying 'eem you", not "ee- moo"
Also I love the map of the US with the remark about drunkenness. Ironically, the straightest line in the part of the country was the Mason Dixon Line which was drawn by two Englishmen who were notoriously fond of a drink.
Geese make really good watchdogs 😁😁😁
It's after the chip sanga 🤣😂
My daughter and I had a very similar experience with an emu. We were at this sanctuary and sat down to eat lunch and the emu head reaches in from behind us for our sandwich. My daughter screamed and ran away, she was probably 10 at the time. I quickly grabbed our food and moved to somewhere safer, lol
Cassowaries are generally ok as long as they don't have chicks. Just don't act aggressive or startle them. It's not like they're bears or anything.
The classic vegemite and BBQ chip sambo. I still occasionally have them to this day.
@@jessbellis9510sambo? You must be from victoristan
most attacks have been because of food...
The talons on a cassowary can disembowel a human!
The goose is walking the man!
Thats why the Emu's won the Emu war, Big arse birds thst take no sh!t.
Starting out with a giant murder turkey? We’re in for a treat
That cassowary is at Etty Bay in north Queensland. The cassowaries there became habituated to people after Cyclone Larry in 2006 stripped the rainforest bare in that area. Rangers brought fruit for the birds for nearly a year and the birds started to become used to people. Its illegal to feed them now and tourists really should try harder to not let the birds get their food.
Walking along a foreshore with my mum & aunt, we watched as a pelican reached its head between 2 women & steal half a chicken. I tried really hard not to laugh but did not succeed. The family found the humour in it & one of the family went back across the road to the chicken place (chicken treat) to get another.
In Western Australia we don't have cassowaries, but we do have emus and ibis that will steal food.
The bike paths have less potholes 😊
There is a small zoo near where I live in Australia, the best past of visiting is laughing at tourist screaming when the emus grab food out of their hands. So funny
Sorry, but had to laugh at your reaction, I emigrated here in late teens and have come into contact with 80% of the weird animals most people think about when arriving here. We’ve eaten lunch seating on top of a park picnic table with our feet on the seats, in a regular favourite spot in New South Wales while travelling north to QLD with my wife and then two young children, because we had about 6 x 1.5M lg Goannas wandering around our feet under the table just the ones on the road and hanging from the tree in the picnic area. Our kids were instructed never to feed them for obvious reasons, but really loved the experience. Just like all the wild life that you come up against in this country, if you respect what they can do to YOU and act accordingly you will have great interaction during your life. NSW in Oz
I an Emu steal an apple from my hand when I was 4 or 5. I don't recall it, but it really scared me and amused the crap out of my family because apparently I cried my heart out and I'm the youngest in my family. It was pure comedy for the rest of my family. 🤣
The cassowary looks both beautiful and majestic. Love it! But the Emu had a better technique. Go for the unsuspecting small apes and their food.
6:18, What that car driver didn’t know about those cyclists is that they were both ACT Police officers and he DID get a talking to.
These things would kick the crap out of you
Cassowaries only usually try to beat you up during mating season, and they are not only native to Australia. They are in Papua new Guinea, and a few surrounding islands. There's only been 1 death in 1926. But I'm sure many people have been smacked around. 😁
The cassowary is the most dangerous bird in the world. They can rip you apart with their razor-sharp claws. Their helmet on the top of their heads are also very sharp. Those people having lunch must have been visitors to Oz, I don’t think any Aussie would have protected their food to that extent against a cassowary. We do some pretty dumb things but not that one thanks. 🤪🤪🤪🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
They had an Australian accent. Probably locals. Cassowaries are only up North.
The seagulls at Seaworld are a nightmare. They take food outa your hand. The Ibis at Dreamworld are the same
There is a very specific and important way to handle a goose, they are incredibly strong and with one flap of their wings can break your arm. Not ever seen one get walked, that's super weird.
If you come to visit Australia don’t just stay in the major cities. There is so much to see and do all through this beautiful country. Yes some of the ‘residents’ (our wildlife) can be a bit scary but mostly they are more afraid of you. Just keep a respectful distance and you should be fine. If you want to get up close to our wildlife go to one of our many great zoos.
The idea is don't feed it, it goes away. I wouldn't sit with that raptor, I mean cassowary stalking around. I'm ok with the emu, a good natured, mullet rocking kid. ☮️
Those bike riders were off duty police officers I believe 🇦🇺
The most dangerous bird in Australia is the kookaburra if you have just had a shag and are relaxing afterwards 😱
You get used to here in Australia, that's why you don't see most of us afraid of wildlife, if anything, if they attack, we attack back :P
There are camping and picnic areas in millions of locations, you will find kangaroo's coming up to you while you're eating, parrots and a handful of a nice colourful birdies land on your arm or shoulder and let you feed them, this is why Australia is great, then the snakes and spiders scare them away, sigh.
Cassowary birds are normally a shy bird and will actually hike on outta there before you even realize they are gone, so this one has obviously been feed a lot from past visitors.
In the 2nd video it looks like the trees are giant emu legs
Yeah mate, we are all heathens over here, & proud of it. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie
No you all just have to teach your ducks to fly home with your ultralight planes😁.
That was actually a small Cassowary 😳
Thats Australia 😂
The cassowary is also just trying to have lunch in teh park. It's clearly tame and used to people. Their reputation is worse than the reality. Not a wallaby. A grey kangaroo.
yeah "tame"....that's a bit naïve mate...
Yep we say it like its
The photo of the roo "sitting" at the bench is a dead animal that has been posed for the photo.
Good to see you back been awhile mate
Good one! Love from Brisbane.
Love the new setup in the man cave Ian looking good 😁
The first one - Cassowary are very aggressive and dangerous birds
A narrow road in Australia mean cyclists must stay in single file but I've seen them side by side escorted by police and not obeying the law and they were school children says a lot about the modern world
Thats a self defense goose
I think it is a special forces goose
It's a seeing-eye goose.
cassowary are not to be messed with
Those 2 a holes cycling in the middle of the road are off duty cops, and old mate got into trouble for driving on the bike path, but they never got into trouble for baiting traffic by illegally riding in the middle of the road.
THATS A BIG WALLABY IN THE PUB
Cassowaries are very dangerous... if provoked, they are capable of inflicting serious, even fatal, injuries upon both dogs and people.
Satin hated people from Rockhapton going to hell because they tended to try to send up for blankets.
Heil Satin
good to hear you've got "Straya" down pat.
The emu clip, I’m pretty sure Dad had a NZ accent. 🇳🇿
emu one, notice the woman in the backround with the red phone realised what was about to happen and started recording as well.
I'm pretty sure if i had my kids at a picnic and a cassowary turned up.. we'd be eating in the car.
Aussies definitely aren't backwards at coming forward and telling ya what we think, especially if you're doing something stupid.
You don't need to open your mouth to have a decent chat or talk with someone in Australia but if you do it may contribute to a much bigger chat..
Most Aussies have a mad sense of humour, we have abbreviations or nicknames for everything and take the piss out of anything and everything including ourselves, and more likely at the most inappropriate times, it's just our way of dealing with the shit life throws at ya.
We also love it when we have a decent flood as it gives us a chance to take our pet fish for a walk.
20+ years ago I was enjoying a nice lunch at the local pub on my break at work. While waiting for my steak sandwich I put $10 in the poker machines. Enjoying the wonderful air-conditioning. Suddenly a lady almost knocked my off my chair. Then a guy did the same thing. WTF was going on around here. I turned around and noticed the recently packed gaming lounge was now empty except for myself, and a 6 foot long goanna who had managed to just walk his ass in off the street like he owned the joint. I considered running like everyone else. But just then hit the jackpot so I wasn't going anywhere. Me and the goanna were here to stay.
the bird that could kill with one kick
Ibis = bin chicken , Cassowary =murder chicken
the fella's on the bikes where actually coppers.
Guy posted recently a video of him walking into his shed and finding a baby brown tangled in a redback web. His explanation? 'Straya'........
Cheers Ian.
If you wanna see Aussies arguing non stop, watch Housos
The Emu War... Someone has made the movie ( on the cheap ), I have seen the trailer, not in any theater near me.
Australia has 6 states
and 2 territories.
@@Reefsider-fq4sk yep
Brother you need to get your rear end down under and do a meet up at some of the pubs in the capital cities.
That cassowary has enough strength in its leg to delete a grown human easily.
Turned out those cyclists were off duty cops. And he was charged.
Dude talking about the squiggly lines doesn't realize the NSW/Victoria border is a bloody river too and a small portion of NSW/QLD
