"Birds used to be dinosaurs."
Cassowaries: "What do you mean, used to be?"
When I was working in a remote area on a mining project a road kill roo had mostly dried out and someone stood it up and put a smoke in its mouth. The project engineer told all of us that this was grossly unacceptable and not to be repeated! Next day the roo had a hard hat
, sunglasses, a reflective vest and work gloves on and holding a men at work sign! No comment from management!
😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO now that's Aussie.
😂😂😂 that's the most Australian thing I've heard since I lived in The Territory
Has to be in WA?
😂😂😂 too funny but would have stunk to high heaven putting that on it 🤮
I've had black swans and emus stealing food from us but there's no way I'd want a cassowary near me.
US - Bar hopping, Australia - Pub crawl.
australian bar hopping: 13:07
The cassowary and emu encounters wouldn't have happened if idiots didn't persist in feeding the bloody things. Good to see the people tried to avoid the birds stealing their food. They're wild animals and should be naturally wary of human contact and try to avoid us. They should not be happy to join our picnics expecting to get food. The same problem occurs with very large monitor lizards and dingoes in some parts. It's not safe for humans, and it's not safe for the animals, especially when they get refused food and get vicious about it and attack a human, then have to be killed to avoid it happening again. Feeding wildlife is a stupid, dangerous, and very harmful thing to do, and it's almost always tourists that do it.
unfortunately they DO get accustomed to having people nearby, and will get curious to some extent.Its not always because people feed them, quite often it can be just that they get used to people being in their vicinity. Some birds can be naturally curious when they smell or see food. Emus and cassowaries are big and formidable birds, and have been known to "stand their ground", so it wouldnt be that unusual for them to take advantage of non-threatening looking people and grab anything they think they can eat. Even indigenous Australians before colonisation would have encountered them around where they eat. But yes, some people do like to feed wild animals.
@@namewithheldbygoogleforsec673 Both can be true but the feeding them is the most common issue.
@@stephenwhitton9681 agreed, but it's a bit of a two way street, a catch 22 situation. they are big birds and curious, and sometimes it can start because people have food, and if they are hungry enough and food is scarce where they are (all birds are scavengers at times), they will try and grab our food (i have seen samll birds swoop down from above and swipe food from plates), and we are taught that we need to be careful around them, because they have sharp beaks, and talons, and quite often if we are confronted by them we throw food to get them away from us so that we can flee, thus encouraging the birds to try the same thing on the next group of people they encounter. But yes, there are times when people just feed them.
The Cassowary here is at a beach in north Queensland. After a devastating cyclone the Cassowaries food source was demolished. People in this area fed them to keep them alive. Although their normal food sources have returned they still travel along this beach almost daily.
The guy won a fight against a croc, with several upper cuts and the croc hasn't been able to show his face to his peers again from embarrassment. Lmao
Croc, last seen going into retirement‼
I’m pretty impressed by how calm the adults and kids were in dealing with the cassowary. You don’t want to provoke a hungry cassowary.
Starting out with a giant murder turkey? We’re in for a treat
Smiths chips on a sandwich, now THAT is true blue Australian snack food right there.
Salt and vinegar sandwiches and Doritos on buns.
@@jessicamann2401 Salt and vinegar are the only chips strong enough to get through the taste of the butter and the fresh yeasty bread flavour.
@@epimetheaus1214 yes indeed
Bbq chips crushed up good with plenty of butter on white bread.
Yummmmmy.
Smiths chicken goes hard as well 🤙🇭🇲
Thank you so much for being the only American I've seen pronounce the word EMU correctly
I noticed that 🇦🇺🇺🇸⚡
Aussie pubs are different to the American taverns and bars. A friend is the landlady of a small metropolitan pub here in Adelaide that is 170 years old, (The pub, not my friend). It is kids and dogs friendly, not to mention the occasional cockatoo. Beer, wine and spirits are served, as well as lunch and dinner meals. Even the Prime Minister of Australia recently dropped in for a beer. Without a press contingent. Australia is that kind of place, wouldn't live anywhere else.
That’s actually really cool 🎉
Really cool, but I don’t like kid friendly pubs.
Just saying 😎
The Cranker?
@@boganshazz821 the wheaty would be my guess but they don’t do meals.
@RealHooksy I thought wheatsheaf but I dont think it's as old as the Crown
That Cassowary must've been use to people... Gotta remember they are in tiny part of FNQ (which is pretty massive admittedly), so most of us will never see a wild one. But those girls handled it like pro's, stayed calm, didnt give the bird cause to be alarmed, and she was spot on about restricting the food... though the bird was pretty wily...
The Roo in the pub was a young male Eastern Grey…
Whilst he was not exactly a joey, he still has a good size to grow yet.
Not sure the have Eastern Grey kangaroos in Western Australia? That pub was the wildlower tavern in John Forrest National park in the hill just east of Perth! Since demolished greedy developers. So my guess is it's probably a Euro (western wallaroo)
@@steventhomas1633 you have made a very good point sir 😂
I wasn’t aware of the pub’s location.
I stand corrected 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺
No worries man. I was back in WA in Jan and took my wife there to see the roos as it used to be my local pub. But in the 3 years since I've been out of WA they bulldozed it. It's a shame as they pub had character and it gave tourist a chance to interact with wildlife that otherwise they may only see in zoos or as road kill!@@Aaron_Hanson
@@steventhomas1633 fkn greedy developers 🤬 Why do they persist on destroying the character and charm of the country’s history?
Replacing the historical buildings with shiny new shit that has no personality and the lifespan expectancy of 1/5th of the buildings they’re replacing?
Makes me sad & pissed off.
I’m seeing this at a lesser rate than others in my city of Ballarat. Why can’t we spend a fraction of the money to rehabilitate the old than it takes to replace them?
Makes very little sense if any at all.
Cheers Cob 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺
@IWrocker, many years ago, when i was a young teen, my Aunt took a friend, my friend's mother, my mother and I to Warrnambool Victoria for a holiday staying in a caravan park. While there we went to Tower Hill (an inactive volcano) for a picnic lunch. There were wooden tables and benches to sit and eat. We placed our sandwichs and drinks in the middle of the table and started eating. While we were eating about a dozen or so Emus sauntered up to our table and surrounded us.
My friends Mum was sitting next to me. She had a sandwich in her hand, cut diagonally from corner to corner, and one of the Emus snatched it from her hand (much like the cassowary in the video) and swallowed it. We put all remaining foor back in the basket and ran back to my aunts car (a Holden Kingswood de-commissioned police car) as fast as we could. Those Emus chased after us. When we were in the car, the emus surrounded the car, pecking/knocking on the windows with their beaks. My aunt inched the car forward til the emus standing in front moved away, then she floored the accelerator and drove away, and those Emus ran after us. My aunt accelerated and sped off, dust from the gravel drive visible through the back window. It was hilarious!!!
A little side note. Went to Melbourne Zoo as a child with my class for a school excursion, and a Cassowary poked me in the face with it's beak. I guess it thought I was playing the staring game, which i wasnt, it was in the middle of the enclosure and it ran across to me and BONK!!!! it got me in the tender spot between the upper lip and the nose.
🤣😂
Road toads are the worst! Our council spent millions $ building them a cycle path & they still ride on the road 😡
Omg that kid with the mullet lost his egg and bacon sandwich to the Emu. Admittedly the bird conducted a great assault on the sandwich, but I would have been pissed lol.
Bar hopping in Oz is called a ....... pub crawl. 😊😊
Bar hopping in Australia is called a Pub Crawl
We walked our duck....she always came on day trips and holidays with us.❤
The bar hopping Kangaroo, did not appreciate the company inside that day, so he popped outside to have his beer at a garden table with his friend Eric the Emu! 😁👍
Waal the wombat was in getting a round!
@@infin8ee Yes! 😄
@@infin8ee And they even met Dirk the Dingo!
6:18, What that car driver didn’t know about those cyclists is that they were both ACT Police officers and he DID get a talking to.
When a bike path is provided you are required to use it. They should know better but their egos wouldn't let it go.
12:15 the guy picked the goose a garlic weed flower' they love it!
I.W. all of Oz appreciates you saying 'eem you", not "ee- moo"
Also I love the map of the US with the remark about drunkenness. Ironically, the straightest line in the part of the country was the Mason Dixon Line which was drawn by two Englishmen who were notoriously fond of a drink.
Yeah that was a roo in the pub not a wallaby, just not fully grown.
Yeah, that's what I thought. It's a one or two yr old Kangaroo, not a wallaby it's too big to be a wallaby.
True event 1989. During basic training to become a soldier in the Australian army, in late winter. We we're marching the platoon to the gym. Out of nowhere comes an Emu. The young male bird headed straight at one of the recruits, a lad with snow white hair.
The bird knocked him over and tried to mate with him. He got up off the ground while we distracted the bird. It ran off in typical Emu fashion. Zig zagging everywhere. The whole platoon cracked up instructors included.
We had one called "Bob" which Aussie soldiers know the meaning of. We used to hand feed him and he would walk along the line for the mess and try and take peoples kfs sets! He had a thing for "shiny" objects and when we would take a smoke break away from our weapons, he would wander up and start eating any loose drill rounds (empty cartridges painted silver used to practice loading magazines, stoppage drills etc). This was a.common L&D report (Loss and Damage) to the stores!
i was there
club med kapooka
@@cjryan88 Did it in winter..The freezing cold dam crossing was not mentioned in the tour brochure.
Going by the animals found here, Australia was The Land That Time Forgot (1974 movie based on American author Edgar Rice Burroughs' 1918 novel of the same name) before the Poms invaded it! I have lived here for all my 54 years and I am still in awe of some of our wildlife...
A mate once picked up a Casawary chick in that moment we learnt Harry was faster than Bolt and part monkey !
Those two men riding their bikes on the road were actually off-duty cops.👮♂️
IIRC old mate copped charges for driving on the bike path.
I've also seen that video before. You're right, those guys on the bikes were off duty cops out for a ride. And yes, the clown in the car caught a small list of charges for his efforts.
What an amazing creature the cassowary is, and how wonderful to see it free in the wild and where it should be! 🇦🇺😍 As long as you are aware of their potential, and respect every interaction you have with them, you’re safe, just don’t be stupid, simple!
Now you know why its the BEST place in the world to live.
Here in Lisbon and also in Porto we have seagulls. Here we say: seagulls on land, a sign of a storm at sea. When it happens, don't even think about walking around with food in your hand. They really attack
Yep I've experienced at least 2 times a roo wondering into an outback pub, it's usually because it's trusting the bar personal to feed it or give it water ( rarely aggressive)
There is a small zoo near where I live in Australia, the best past of visiting is laughing at tourist screaming when the emus grab food out of their hands. So funny
Geese know not to mess with aussies, they know their place on the food chain !
Port Wakefield in South Australia is home to seagulls/silver gulls that will literally mug you for food (hot chips etc) if you walk out from a shop with it lol
there is one area in sydney, one of the islands i think that they have actually made off limits to anyone because the seagulls became so violent in stealing food.
Victor Harbor too...and there are signs everywhere Not to feed them.....but dipshits still do 😖
In South Australia and lots of other places in Australia too - Manly Beach in Sydney for instance. Not quite the same as being dive-bombed by magpie, but you can still feel like you're being monstered ie pestered!
It's after the chip sanga 🤣😂
I’ve had a kookaburra steal my lunch at a cafe. Flew down and grabbed it just as I was about to put it in my mouth.
I think I’ve been to the same place, it was/is a known spot
Yep. They are cunning little buggas. Whip your food right out of your hand when it's almost in your mouth. Also seen one take off with my friends steak in the beer garden.
0:22 That's dangerous. Like bears they see humans as a food source. They can also split you open like an apple with one kick.
Yes, please don't feed the wildlife! 🤨
Haha Cassowaries don't eat humans you gronk 😂
First off mate no they most definitely do not and secondly the only bear that actually sees humans as a food source is the polar bear.
@@saltedpork476 'Food source' meaning camping food, picnicking food, food on the table and in your Esky.
I can safely say that I’ve never seen anyone walking a goose either. It’s about as common in Australia as it is in the U.S.!!!
I was in Sydney (out west) and while waiting for the "walk" sign at the crossing , saw what I thought was a man dragging a small fluffy dog. When he crossed I realised that he was walking his ferret. Never seen anything like that before or since .
@@infin8ee lol now thats funny!!
@@infin8eeearlier, l just drove out the paddock to get my bottle fed lamb in for the night ...called, she came running and jumped up onto my lap for the drive back! Just another day in Straya...
@@infin8ee Back in the 80's we were driving towards Sydney on Canterbury road and a ferret ran out onto the road, I pulled of my flanno and told my mate to pull over and i chased the bloody thing and caught it, I put it in the glovebox and took it home. My mate made a really cool enclosure for it full of neat , joined PVC pipe pieces . He had it for years before it died... Cool pet...
@@MickH60 I've been told they make good pets but I'll stick to my working dogs!
The bike paths have less potholes 😊
Geese make really good watchdogs 😁😁😁
The cassowary is so bad ass that it will eat a whole mango and the stone will pass through them intact
What did the donkey do to make him bad?
WTF?
@@lesflynn4455Find "ass" in a dictionary.
@@grantodaniel7053 I was referring to the discomfort of a mango seed passing through a digestive tract and out of one's anus. I did not specify that in my previous message. Izzat clear now?
First the emu headbutts mullet boy, then he steals his breaky!😂😅
"Flow and grace"? Two words that are probably the last two that I'd use to describe a couple of us Aussie's arguing!😂
Happened to me in Sydney - Central station outdoor cafe, the cockatoo snatched the fish from my hand and another one snatched my chips 🥰
lucky it wasn't the seagullsy, they are demons in that area. love what they have done to central station since i left but i do miss the hungry jacks inside were i would get dinner before the train to the blue mountains for my commute home.
The talons on a cassowary can disembowel a human!
If you come to visit Australia don’t just stay in the major cities. There is so much to see and do all through this beautiful country. Yes some of the ‘residents’ (our wildlife) can be a bit scary but mostly they are more afraid of you. Just keep a respectful distance and you should be fine. If you want to get up close to our wildlife go to one of our many great zoos.
The WALABY was going outback to the BEER GARDEN for a SMOKE BREAK 😂🤣😂🤣
It’s grey so I would say it’s a young kangaroo, an Eastern Grey.
Ian, did you hear about the sinkhole that opened up under a soccer field?
That would have been a bucks group at the pub
My daughter and I had a very similar experience with an emu. We were at this sanctuary and sat down to eat lunch and the emu head reaches in from behind us for our sandwich. My daughter screamed and ran away, she was probably 10 at the time. I quickly grabbed our food and moved to somewhere safer, lol
Do these two know how dangerous this bird can be?😳
At the zoo when 9 years old was at Cassowary habitat never having seen one before. Out of nowhere a Cassowary raced over to where I was standing behind a fence that would've been chest high on an adult. It seemed to leap and push forward and it's hard head got me on my forehead and it kept coming for me to peck me, it was terrifying. Their feet are nasty too, those people obviously don't realise how aggressive they are.
Can confirm when I tell someone "I just wanna have a chat" im swinging at him 😂
This is our Public Displays of Affection 😂😂
Thats why the Emu's won the Emu war, Big arse birds thst take no sh!t.
I an Emu steal an apple from my hand when I was 4 or 5. I don't recall it, but it really scared me and amused the crap out of my family because apparently I cried my heart out and I'm the youngest in my family. It was pure comedy for the rest of my family. 🤣
The footage of the cassowary looks very much like the one that is commonly seen at a beautiful beach in Far North Queensland (judging by the background. It has been habituated by tourists and locals and will try to steal the milk out of your tea.
can't beat the good ol chip sanga, with the emu the kids even got the mullet going, lost the bacon and egg roll.
Walking along a foreshore with my mum & aunt, we watched as a pelican reached its head between 2 women & steal half a chicken. I tried really hard not to laugh but did not succeed. The family found the humour in it & one of the family went back across the road to the chicken place (chicken treat) to get another.
In the UK many years ago I had a similar experience with a peacock trying to steal my lunch. I had just opened up my coolbox/eski/chillybin, and after piling the food back in the box only fir the bird to get on the table, I used the lid as a gentle persuader to shoo it away.
4:34 well done! First American to pronounce "emu" right!
Unfortunately, our Aussie pubs are being cancelled and destroyed by the politically correct and woke movement . Very sad
Love the new setup in the man cave Ian looking good 😁
I'm convinced these sheilas have no idea about Cassowaries and the size of the claw they have. I live in Queensland - but I live in the highest, coldest bit because I don't want to share space with dinosaurs. I've had encounters with emus in the bush but they are goofy af and if they charge you just punch them in the face. Works for sharks, crocs, drop bears and clowns speaking ^%$#^. Glad you find us amusing 😁
You just cracked me up with the “these sheilas” bit! Haven’t heard anyone refer to women like that for years!
Good one! Love from Brisbane.
If there was any any Australian creature that I was most scared of, it would be the cassowaries they are savage and aggressive !!
These things would kick the crap out of you
The goose is walking the man!
Sorry, but had to laugh at your reaction, I emigrated here in late teens and have come into contact with 80% of the weird animals most people think about when arriving here. We’ve eaten lunch seating on top of a park picnic table with our feet on the seats, in a regular favourite spot in New South Wales while travelling north to QLD with my wife and then two young children, because we had about 6 x 1.5M lg Goannas wandering around our feet under the table just the ones on the road and hanging from the tree in the picnic area. Our kids were instructed never to feed them for obvious reasons, but really loved the experience. Just like all the wild life that you come up against in this country, if you respect what they can do to YOU and act accordingly you will have great interaction during your life. NSW in Oz
The cassowary looks both beautiful and majestic. Love it! But the Emu had a better technique. Go for the unsuspecting small apes and their food.
Its true, taking the piss is high art in Australia.😂❤❤❤
I spent a bit too much time worrying about what was on fire in your studio. 😂
Thats Australia 😂
Yep we say it like its
Yeah mate, we are all heathens over here, & proud of it. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie
Oi, oi, oi 👍
Those cassowaries will mess you up. They have no joke
The seagulls at Seaworld are a nightmare. They take food outa your hand. The Ibis at Dreamworld are the same
There is a very specific and important way to handle a goose, they are incredibly strong and with one flap of their wings can break your arm. Not ever seen one get walked, that's super weird.
In the 2nd video it looks like the trees are giant emu legs
Pulled in to the Roadhouse at Marla South Aus 159 km to Northern Territory border and there’s a goose keeping all the flying birds away and patrolling the caravan park area
that rider sounded like an off duty cop
100%🇦🇺🇺🇸⚡
Good to see you back been awhile mate
The idea is don't feed it, it goes away. I wouldn't sit with that raptor, I mean cassowary stalking around. I'm ok with the emu, a good natured, mullet rocking kid. ☮️
Pet roo maybe? Nobody took much notice and he/she seemed to know their way around.
Cassowaries are generally ok as long as they don't have chicks. Just don't act aggressive or startle them. It's not like they're bears or anything.
The classic vegemite and BBQ chip sambo. I still occasionally have them to this day.
@@jessbellis9510sambo? You must be from victoristan
most attacks have been because of food...
Those bike riders were off duty police officers I believe 🇦🇺
The most dangerous bird in Australia is the kookaburra if you have just had a shag and are relaxing afterwards 😱
That Cassowary is from Etty Bay in FNQ. It is very common to see him out and about along the beach harrasing beach goers for their food. I live 10 minutes away from this beach and almost every time I have gone there I have seen him. The prick ate our tennis ball once thinking it was food.
the one with the cyclists was a bit of a viral one locally a few years ago. that stretch of road is actually only 11 minutes from my house LOL
We walk our geese but run our emus.
If a cassowary wants your sanger, just give it to it! You can argue with an emu, but not a cassowary.
The Cassowary gets whatever it wants in my opinion.
THATS A BIG WALLABY IN THE PUB
good to hear you've got "Straya" down pat.
The guy walking a goose… that’s nothing. On my morning bus commute to the city, there would often be a guy walking his PIG, on a leash, in Redfern Park… very close to Central Station.
Luv the mullet
Cassowaries only usually try to beat you up during mating season, and they are not only native to Australia. They are in Papua new Guinea, and a few surrounding islands. There's only been 1 death in 1926. But I'm sure many people have been smacked around. 😁
Thats a self defense goose
I think it is a special forces goose
It's a seeing-eye goose.
I remember as kids a pelican started Chasing my brother and I and because I was faster the pelican knocked my brother down to take his sandwich lol I just ran for the car and started laughing at my brother
