Bush eggs: none. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: zip diddily.
There was a young pukeko that got stuck in the bottom corner of our run today. The gate was open but it couldn’t figure its way out, just kept on trying to escape at that corner. It was up here looking for FOOD! The Female Person snuck up on it, caught it and threw it over the fence (which was pretty impressive considering she has only one usable arm at the moment). Anyway the stupid thing didn’t even flap its wings to break the fall, just landed like a rock, then rolled down the bank to the pond, picked itself up fine at the bottom (which is good) and ran off. I noticed that the pukeko, young cute and fuzzy though it was, gave The Female Person a nasty peck on the hand when she caught it – serves her right for starving us all.
