@glengarry23 I think you meant to post this in the bird thread: The thread "Bird Photos - January 2016" in Gardening for Butterflies, Birds and Bees forum

I'd move it but even as moderator I don't seem to have that power. But you should be able to copy and paste it over there!

There used to be 500 pound birds in Australia, and early humans ate their giant eggs, thereby helping them go extinct.
