PhotoHunt: What IS that?

Yes, it's a bird.
In fact I'm pretty sure it's a Crimson Rosella.
But why the hell does it have something pink in it's mouth?
What the hell IS that?



The answer? Chewing gum.

I was betting on salt water taffy. Do you have that in Australia?

Vic said...

cats~goats~quotes - They're not supposed to have it, but these birds have become used to scavenging. I guess it seemed tasty at the time.

Kat - thanks mate!

Baker Watson - The bird was pretty tame, so I could get close!

Mistyeiz - It's an Australian native, and I agree, they're very pretty.

Terroni - I've never heard of it, but if you're supposed to eat it it sounds awful!
