To all the Aussies

[77thShad]

Is there anything that doesn't want to kill you in Australia?

Once in primary school there was a huntsman in my class and everyone freaked out. It was funny. This was before I had a phobia of spiders. After that I did. :)

This is why Aussies look like echidnas on bikes. Gotta do something about these pesky birds right? xD

I've never seen a magpie before even though I lived in a community infested with them.

Also fun fact that people don't know about the huntsman, is that just two of these living in your house and your home will be roach free in a month. Even in the most heavy infestation its damn near guaranteed.
Their 'choice of prey' is roaches above all else, like THE PREDITOR for them.

So cooliorules and digitalmez Don't fear or want to kill them! They are awesome because of this.

oh my god i saw something like this, and they would just peck out your eyes. holy shit that's horrible, but then again it made me laugh because there was a part in the reading where kids would ride their bikes wearing cardboard boxes lmao but yeah thats just terrible

Got swooped whilst cycling today, damn bird followed me for around 500m. Also found a massive white-tail under my tuba this morning.

10/10 would recommend Australia to others - great fun.

Wait why are the Australian magpies hostile? I have magpies where I live and they aren't hostile, even when they have nests nearby.

Spoiler: Irish Magpie

Spoiler: Australian Magpie

Also if these were everywhere it might help a bit

In Norway we call these "Skjærer", it translates into cutter.

It's that time of the season to avoid these assholes.

Gotta be the most hideous Australian thing I've ever seen.
