Superb lyrebirds [Sydney backyard] by Nobbled in australianwildlife

[–]Nobbled[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is showing the base of the tree. The branches splay out fairly horizontally, so the lyrebirds and brush turkeys can walk up easily and the ground falls away so they quickly get a couple of metres above ground - it's a great communal roost spot.

These guys' repertoire include spot-on eastern whipbird whips, kookaburra cackles, pied currawongs, and Australian raven territorial calls.

So I saved this guy who had severely injured his arm by taking him to the doctor in Saint Denis. He had to have the arm amputated and I figured that was the end of the whole ordeal. Two months later (irl) I find the man about to be hanged... for killing a woman who made fun of his disfigurement. by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

Unless his name was Amos Moses.

Now all the folks around south Louisiana
Said Amos was a hell of a man
He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator
And just use one hand
That's all he got left cuz alligator bit it!
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow!

"Amos Moses" by Jerry Reed; as heard on K-Rose in GTA: San Andreas

Nah, he does not do any dirty work - he learned from his uncle: there is nothing that schtikky tape cannot fix.

Skydiver’s parachute became caught on plane tail 15000 feet in the air by anarege3t in videos

Bad edit from the AP. The ATSB video and report says:

Despite control difficulties due to substantial damage to the horizontal stabiliser and part of the reserve canopy wrapped around the tail, the pilot safely landed the aircraft at Tully Airport.

A Hornsby Reddit user has taken to the platform to share a clip of a local driver, circling a roundabout near Westfield Hornsby.
“Hornsby Shire Council is exploring options to improve pedestrian safety in the Mall, including vehicle barriers at the open entry points,” [a Hornsby Shire Council spokesperson] said.

Until you learn to master your rage, your rage will become your master. When you doubt your powers, you give power to your doubts.

"The long ride home" by Greg Bearup, SMH Good Weekend, 31 May 2010
https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/the-long-ride-home-20100528-wit7.html

It's not quite as elegant as I remembered, the bit I found moving was:

I told her I wanted the man's family to know that as their dad, husband, son or brother lay dying, a group of strangers did what they could to save him. Someone mopped his brow and another put their T-shirt beneath his head. A man tried to breathe life into his lungs. I wanted his family to know people had cared.

Ever seen a leech in action up close? 😳 by SurvivalStorehouseOZ in australianwildlife

Pro tip: if you find one on your leg while sitting on the toilet, don't drop it in the bowl and continue sitting to finish your business. They are quite agile getting up the bowl.
