Kookaburra
The kookaburra died. H went to feed him this morning and he was dead on the ground.

Grumpy Kookaburra
I took Grumpy out to his new temporary home today. He was bitey as I caught him and shoved him in the box, and he was making cranky noises as we drove out to H's aviary. H let him go in the 3m x 3m aviary, and he immediately flew up into the far corner and glared at us. I think a week of R&R and he can be released.
I got to play with Goobang, a tiny, furless eastern grey kangaroo. He weighs <1kg. I also met Scotty again, but now he weighs nearly 30kg. The sun gives him problems so H & R rub factor 30 sunscreen on his ears during the summer. Poor Scotty can't be released or he'll be looking at death by skin cancer.

hedgegoth, I got rid of the bird just in time. The neighbours bought some cockatiels yesterday.

Cranky Kookaburra
I have a young kookaburra in care. He's in the new cage that will, eventually, be given to the Peewee Mafia in spring. The kookaburra hates the cage and is really cranky.
I'm not sure what's wrong with him. There's no physical injury that I can find, but he's a little thin without being too thin. He was found sitting on the road and being cranky about it, then he was caught and shoved in a box, which improved his crankyness not at all. Now he is in the new cage and hating every minute of it. If I ever needed a poster-child for cranky, I'd use this kookaburra. I am almost tempted to say "Crikey! He's a bit stroppy!"
Tomorrow I'll take him out to H's. She has released the goshawk and will move the eagle into the large aviary, so that will leave her 3m x 3m cage free. I'm sure that will NOT impress the kookaburra but it will give him room to stretch.
