Once 7am arrives, I dress my daughter in whatever is convenient, bundle her in her pram and head down to get my morning caffeine hit. I got to the front gate today thought and stopped dead in my tracks. There sitting on the fence post, a mere two feet from us, was the king of the kingfisher birds, an Australian Kookaburra.

I could not believe it let us get so close without flying away. These wild birds are not used to humans. Getting so close to one is so unusual the memory will stick for a long time. I slowly went back into my home, got my wife so she could enjoy this calm presence too. So the four of us stood there for nigh on 5 minutes, enjoying each other’s company

Changes in nervous functions would follow – all to prepare you to defend yourself or flee.
