Breaking eggs

February 5, 2013 by Jen

When on Kangaroo Island recently we went to a birds of prey demonstration. I showed some photos of the birds earlier.

This bird – the Black Breasted Buzzard was very impressive. He hasn’t got his black breast yet because he’s still young, but it will come.

They have a clever trick when they want to eat an emu egg.

They find a little stone and break the egg.

It might take them a few goes but they get there in the end.

Apparently this is completely instinctual, not taught by their parents. Clever huh?

    I would love to go to Kangaroo Island. It seems like such a magical place. I have only heard how expensive it is though…it’s on my wish list for sure.

      It is a lovely place and yes it is a bit pricey to get your car there by the ferry but compared to buying flights somewhere it’s not too bad. It’s good if you stay for at least a week though. Hope you make it one day.
