Mamby Pamby?

Postby Scotts1au » Wed Sep 03, 2014 4:36 pm

Just wondering if anyone has "amazing survival" stories of blueys to share.

I know there are stories about blueys run over by mowers, surviving dog attacks, turning up in Florida on peoples doorstep, even one Indo that made it through a Northern Winter on the lamb. There are stories about them eating toxic fruits, such as Eastern blueys living off Bitou bush fruits and Shinglebacks eating berries and leaves full of naturally occurring Flouroacetate (1080 poison).

Wondering what people might have to add to prove these guys aren't Mamby Pamby animals. :-) (a phrase coined on here by a former regular contributor).

BTW anybody about to access the full version of this: http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.1086/6 ... 4119220391
