New entry at number 5 - Bush turkeys. Lots of them roam around by the cafe area at the union. One got its feet stuck a binliner while trying to steal stuff out the bin and fell off.At number 4 this week, Butterflies. There’s loads of really cool ones everywhere, but my favourite is a HUGE electric blue one with black edges, that was flying around outside my room yesterday.At number 3, the Rainbow Lorikeets (the colourful parrots). Sliping down the chart this week due to too much loud squawking and my inability to train one to speak OR sit on my shoulder.New entry at number 2…. a Kookaburra! He’s been sitting in the tree outside my office for ages and keeps looking at me. He’s very pretty. I don’t think its a gum tree though.Still hanging in at number one, it’s the Kangaroos! Stealing the top spot again for their jumping power and comic expressions.
