Chilly relations between Brush Turkey and Australian Raven witnessed in Townsville's Cape Pallarenda Conservation Park today (15/01/25) quickly sourced to discarded tub of . . . 😂 sweet chilli sauce.
Turkey first to the tub. Raven barged in. Turkey pushed back. Raven took to grabbing Turkey leg from behind. Turkey turned to jab at Raven's head. Raven grabbed Turkey's tail. Between times the birds slurped up much of the sauce.
Overall, a fair draw and the birds went off to look for less fiery fare. (Yes, I know, they probably felt nothing hot, lacking our sensitive taste buds.)
