My mate Steve in the UK sent me this.


A bloke starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks.

First is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds. As he does this a huge fish
jumps out and bites him. To show the others who's boss he beats it to death
with a spade. Realizing that his employer won't be best pleased he disposes
of the fish by feeding it to the lions, as lions will eat anything.

Moving on the second job of clearing out the Chimpanzee house, he is
attacked by the chimps that pelt him with coconuts. He swipes at two of the
chimps with a spade, killing them both. What can he do? Feed them to the
lions he says to himself, because lions eat anything. He hurls the corpses
into the lion enclosure.

He moved on to the last job which is to collect honey from the South
American Bees. As soon as he starts he is attacked by the bees. He grabs the
spade and smashes the bees to a pulp. By now he knows what to do and throws
them into the lion enclosure.

Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo. He wanders up to another and
says, "What's the food like here?"

The lion says "Absolutely brilliant".

"Today we had fish and chimps with mushy bees!"

hi. i just rescued a baby pee wee. the nest in our garden was attacked by a currawong or magpie and the whole lot fell to the ground. two of the babies are dead. :-( the mum has flown off and has not come back....
i wrapped it in a soft cloth put it in the nest, into a box, and am now waiting for wildlife carers to contact me...
any suggestions?
it's so young. eyes aren't even open yet.

Must be kept warm, that's very important. Fill a plastic bottle with hot water (but not too hot) and use that as a heater. Keep it out of drafts. Cold will kill the chick faster than anything.

The nest isn't important. I use empty margarine tubs stuffed with tissues. Make a hollow in the tissues and put the chick in, place it in a box and then have the hot water bottles beside it.

the carers came and collected it. :-) it's going to be with two others and will be returned to our garden when it is time. the mother returned, but there is no way i could get the nest back in the tree, too high up... and the next tree is too far away....
poor little thing. photos later. :-)

ps, the bottle is a really good idea. i will remember that for next? time. i didn't have a hot water bottle, so used a desk lamp as a heater.
