Birds of Prey Show

Photo from my flickr account

Falconry is totally badass. While watching the (awesome) birds of prey show at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane this April, I seriously considered a change in career path.

The three people handling birds were all women, and with their hardcore leather gloves, flipping these huge predatory birds around (the one in this picture EATS KANGAROOS, MAN!) they were sooooo cool! I was in awe.

I've seen shows like that at the (now closed) Quebec zoo, and perhaps at Calgary. A career may still be possible.


But the real question: did you like Fluffy? I can't remember.
