I have a question. Why, in the "Braveheart" picture under the Department of Communication on the main page, is Mel Gibson/Sir William Wallace embracing a giant duckling?
If you don't believe me take a good look at the upper left corner of the picture.
I demand some explanation for this rather eccentric behavior.

Yes, it is an embrace (and yes, I know ostriches are not indigenous to Australia - it was a joke)
But I could see the critter Lefty was talking about and looking at it with my eyes crossed, it DID look like an ostrich!

After WWI the Australian Light Horse changed its uniform and didn't have the ostrich feather, so there was no market for ostrich feathers and the birds were let loose. There are still quite a few north of Port Augusta and I believe in western NSW. Every now and then someone gets the bright idea of raising them for meat or skin but it never amounts to much. It would be like eating a cross between Big Bird and Tatiana Gregorieva (sp). Thanks to our ancestors we have donkeys, horses, camels, goats, ostriches, mice, rats, foxes and rabbits wandering about, along with a heap of nondescript and sh*t introduced smaller European birds. It makes it bloody hard for the roos and crocs to wander about the suburbs!
