Beak Holding
I think this was our 1st Kookaburra games. I could approach
them with my empty hand out-stretched, and they would sit there expectantly. I
was then able to reach out & hold the end of their beak.
Not knowing how they would react, I was surprised to say the
least, that they did nothing.
They just sat there.
They didn’t try to pull away. They didn’t fly away when I
let go. They just sat there giving me, at what I can best describe as, a
bewildered look. They would look at my fingers, then at me, almost saying –
“what was that?”
I’m guessing they have never had an experience like that.
They don’t see it as harm or a threat. They just don’t know what to make of it.
Allowing me to hold their beaks, gave me the idea to colour
code them for identification (This I will cover in my post “Colour Me Up”).
