ROFLOL - they should hear the pesky things at 5.55am at Bairnsdale in a tent
in the middle of summer! Crikey (as someone famous once said). There is no
sweeter sound.......(yeah pigs might fly!)

Saw a flock of those noisy lil' birds EAT the siding of a
house! The couple replaced the timber with aluminium - and
they tore that off too. Seems they didn't like the sun
reflecting off the wall. That end of the house sat
abandoned near where I used to live in NSW 15 years ago.

Oh dear! Does this mean I have added to the list of scary
things? Are you all going to think we have the birds from
the Hitchcock movie? ROFLMAO

I am generally not afraid of scorpions, bees, or snakes that aren't
bigger than I am. I am not afraid of spiders, though I reckon the
bird eating variety would make me jump back a bit. Of course seeing
any one of the above mentioned things all unexpected makes a body
jump. Most squishy sorts of animals and buggy grubby kinds of things
just make me go ew ick.
I have no idea whatsoever why batrachian things send me screaming.
I can handle Kermit and his ilk, but the least bit of lifelikeness and
I run. Can't even do pictures.

**** on your hands when you pick them up.
Do they scare you because they are ugly?

You missed the batrachophobe part.

I can't believe I glanced at this article and read it wrong. It said
that frogs can be turned into beer and I kept looking to see how they
were making beer from frogs! And I teach reading!

I was interested in this because several years ago the 4th grade
English Language Arts test had an extended reading section about the
cane toads.
