You are never ore than 10 feet away from a kangaroo. Kangeroos navigate in the dark using sonar. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk oops sorry didn't see you there. They are not as good at it as bats but better than dolphins in the bush

Kangeroos have a brain the size of a walnut and are pretty much untrainable. During the Queensland annual kangeroo cull they are tagged to stop them evading the hunt by mingling with the locals. That is actually a fact - but generally speaking only in reference to North Queenslanders, who fear and despise the kangaroo due to the terror posed should kangaroos ever decide to use their superior intelligence against the sheep station owners.

A Galah is a bird native to Australia and makes great bush tucker. To cook a Galah throw it into the fire along with two or three large rocks. When the rocks go soft the Galah is ready to eat.

This is perfectly true. Galahs invented jazz fusion. This is utter bollocks. Galahs invented jazz fusion. I think you are mixing up jazz and nuclear Now this is just being silly. Galahs do however make excellent pets. They can develop unbelievably large vocabularies, are affectionate and social and live for 30-40 years. They're easily trained too. I had a galah called Clarry. She used to come everywhere with me, sitting on my shoulder. She loved a party and used to go from one guest to another, shouldering her way across the room. Her favourite party trick was to drink beer from the rim of your can and fish nuts and dried fruit off the snack table. She was best mates with the dog and cat my sister owned and she has a photo somewhere, all three drinking from the same water bowl. Paddy (the dog) found out how to open the aviary and used to let her out as soon as we'd left for work so they could pal around together in the yard all day. NB: A galah in Aussie colloquial parlance is a foolish, silly or mentally deficient person. Used in a sentence one might for instance say: "That Penfold bloke is a real galah."

The Scottish crossbill is another Australian bird, found only in Scotland. It has no redeeming features whatsoever. Attachments:

The single story dwelling referred to in the UK as a bungalow owes its name to Welsh builder Llwry Cwylld who, faced with a shortage of stone and a 2 storey building that was completed only as face as the ground floor, declared "llangoryth by twyl dy roth" or translated "bung a low roof on it"

The pop group Pet Shop Boys were named after their habit of frequenting Pet Shops to acquire hamsters for the purpose of illegal hamster fights.

An interesting fact about diamonds.
If you take a large lump of coal and compress it in a hydraulic press to a pressure of 4,000,000 kg per cm3 it will be magically transmuted into countless tiny bits of coal.

Perhaps you stumbled upon an Aboriginal Galah to English translater, a maybe you used a crossbilled Babel sparrow?
