We had a visitor this morning. I was sitting at the table having breakfast when wife drew my attention to a critter in the bushland behind us.

You may also see a magpie in the shot. It's nesting season and magpies become notoriously and aggressively protective of their zones. For reasons only they can guess, they see roos as a possible adversary, and so they drive them away from their nests, which are usually 30 to 40 metres off the ground in tall trees. Roos can jump, but not THAT high.



But maggie wants that roo outta there.

Roo takes the hint and legs it...

Then stops under a tree to regroup and check out the weird humans in night attire standing at a fence, one with a big camera pointing at her.

The red is the biggest I believe.



I know of a butcher shop that sells frozen knagaroo meat. I don't know where it was raised. My guess is some place in the Southern USA.

The Red is largest, eastern grey the smallest. You may observe that the eastern grey above is not grey. But it has a grey chest and ear tufts. So its called a grey.

You have a wife?

Guess you remarried eh.

The local Independent here actually had Roo meat for sale briefly, but they stopped stocking it.  I predicted sales would be dismal...  Canadians aren't exactly a demographic that would take to Roo meat in any large numbers...
