I dislike both. My backyard and front yard is like a bird avery. These birds are huge too. Black and white Cockatooes, magpies, annoying Kookaburras and these overgrown rats with wings that fight each other to the death. There's an eagle too that occasionally passes by. That one is not so bad.

Just another day of Australian suburbian life.

I miss the kookaburras from the eastern states.

They're not all across Australia? I never knew that.

Maybe she was holding some food? I was attacked by a flock of black cockies in far north queensland as a child because i was eating some peanuts. :x

I've had two guinea pigs and never got bit. It's actually really rare for one to bite, even when they're in pain. I can certainly understand how much it would suck to get bit by one, though; they have enormous front teeth!
Personally, I think guinea pigs are just about the cutest animals around. I love their little wavy ears and their noses and the way they're shaped like little bricks and...and......I just really like them! :lol:

You hate guinea pigs?

This makes me a very sad piglet.
