I live with these guys, they are often in my yard, even more often in my town, and their quickness and agility never cease to amaze me. I have learned to never make assumptions when they are around. Always give them more room than you think you should and all the respect they deserve. Thanks again.

It reminds me of when I was a kid living in Asheville, N.C. They would come to my dad's feeders in the back yard every year. I guess I got my interest in watching the birds from him. Thanks for the site and keep up the good work. Lee Hey Mike, I think the hidden bird of the month is an – - – - – - – -. It reminds me of when I was a kid living in Asheville, N.C.

And the birds of Australia…or Oz…as it’s known in slang, are a whole other world for Americans. You guys may not have the big animals like moose, but your beer cans make ours look puny. Thanks for the comment, Geoff. Hey, a crash with a roo would be high adventure to us. And the birds of Australia…or Oz…as it’s known in slang, are a whole other world for Americans.

I've walked up quite close for photos in Rocky Mntns NP but the bull stayed on the other side of his ladies. I might be thinking about risk and escape paths next time! We have a fantastic range of birds here in Oz and seldom are at risk from such powerful animals... apart from an overly friendly large Kangaroo at a picnic venue, or a recent experience when a large roo nearly jumped into my passing open car, when I was saved by the A pillar. He jumped away bruised and probably annoyed but I had 3 panels to fix! What a beautifully described action incident!

The only bull Moose my wife and I have seen was also in Yellowstone, but much further away. As soon as we got in a position to take pictures, it started ambling away. I think it must have liked Monty Python's French knights, as it did much more than fart in our general direction. Then it disappeared into the trees. But I guess I'd rather that than what happened to you! Moose do seem to have a sense of humor. The only bull Moose my wife and I have seen was also in Yellowstone, but much further away.
