Ps...when I was in Brisbane for a year...I wanted to KILL those birds every morning lol...no Need for alarm clocks in Oz

Heh. Further testament to their teaching ability: "Early bird gets the worm." But in their case, they share. And it would appear, rather equally.

If a pack trice the size would run into some scarcity, these borders would mean squat.

But the Purples, Blues, and Whites ARE twice the size of the Greens, Reds and Yellows.

It only works at "trice" the size?

I think you're over-analyzing this a tad bit LOL

It's really not that complicated, sometimes we can learn a lesson from animals and nature. That's the point I got from this, anyway.

I meant size of pack not size of territory and it's not respect, it's dominance.

We tend to cherry pick the cute parts in nature to underline that our morals are right but if you look at the whole package we are more often than not repelled and very quickly resort to our save zones of "we are not animals".

Oh and by the way, the wolf population in the USA is managed by the government, so much for natural behavior, they'd be extinct if not for Government...

I'm Canadian...not to mention they aren't managed to the extent that they control their behaviour, let's get serious. Those are "natural" borders, no matter what reason you think.

Overthinking a simple message IMO.

I’m no expert on Kookaburras, but if I had to guess I’d say the larger one is probably the offspring of the smaller one from a previous season.

So probably more just a maternal instinct, rather than some genuine act of kindness.

They are really cool birds though. Used the love feeding them as a kid when they came to the barbie looking for a feed. It’s a total trip how they try to break the back of the meat, as if it was a live lizard or snake.

Terpene is not a sharing Kookaburra at least not with Patricia's. They're too mean.

Oh, I guess evil white supremacy even oppresses wolves.

I didn't know what they eat, i was thinking maybe fish as they look very similar to an European kingfisher, but they're very shy.
Those aren't, they behave like an upgraded sparrow.

I think you're spot on, about the observation. He's still eating at mamas table. You notice only the fatty keeps beating the dead "lizard", probably not the smartest either.

No of course not, they all volunteer to draw the map of their territory, just had to give them mobile phones... Ahem wait that was another project, ahem, well actually yes we captured and chipped them without consent.
I mean it would be good to know if that wasn't considered oppression it could save us lots of effort.

And we also don't oppress kookaburras.

The one on the left seems to be a female.

Take note, all you money grubbing, greedy, self-centered bastards, corporations and governments.

What do you mean?

That things are so bad even the kookaburras need handouts?
