Well I never knew that. ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | ||

It makes sense in the similar climate. I wonder what the infertility issue is? Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

What are those birds like to hunt? Shoot 'em on the move? Or pop 'em in the torso when their heads are buried in the sand? "Only accurate rifles are interesting." | |||

Ostriches shouldn't be that hard to kill. Just wait 'til you find one bent over, head in the sand, and shoot 'em in the keister with a 12ga. Maybe use #4 shot. All The Best ... | |||

I heard stories about it when I was kid and I first went out west. My boss in the course of plying his trade desilting dams traveled quite extensively mostly in outback QLD and into the north and earlier on in the corner country. If there are just 2 of you out in the middle of nowhere for a month to 6 weeks at a time you tend to hear someone's full history. He told me yarns about ostriches. But the first time I worked for him it was 1981 so we did dams that'd been dug by horse teams and even Chinamen by shovel. You can understand I heard a lot more far fetched yarns than Ostrich sightings. | |||

Something I discovered at Heathcote last weekend was that 'emeu' is Portuguese for ostrich. | |||

Still a few on farms here and there. I saw some last week but they weren't feral. The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.
