When surrounded by our treats these very common birds just can't resist... both literally stealing only the sugary stuff. In the case of the bush turkey he literally stole the sugar sachets and then proceeded to peck them till they burst their goodies on the ground for him to clean up! He has quite a habit going apparently :)
and is also partial to a drop of Latte

strange looking bird those bush turkeys, and cheeky with it, it would seem. Sitting in a cafe ..drinking latte, eating cakes AND getting bird pics... whoever said you can't have your cake and eat it too?
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best
What can I say......... the Sunshine Coast ... a great place to live! (just don't take your dog to a cafe)

Great pic's Birdie'
Would have been a nice experience. So do Turkey's have one lump or two?
Well Reckless..... apparently he prefers it in a sachet... and the council says it would be most unsanitary to have it in lumps LOL
The waitress told me that he has a habit going that amounts to "as much as he can steal before being kicked off he table" per day....

Great shots what a strange looking bird the bush turkey is.
