Sneaky Karitu - But Karivon Wins the Day

The magpies, currawongs, butcherbirds, noisy-miners - they are all friends and interact daily in many ways. They play with each other, negotiate with each other, tease each other and help each other.  This slideshow tells a really cute story that we have seen played out in many variations.

Dimpy looks distracted
While Dimpy's not looking
Sneaky Karitu steals Dimpy's piece
Karitu runs up the bank
Ah! A good place to eat
With no one to bother me
I can eat at liesure
But Wendy goes to investigate
Minnie checks it out too
Minnie is satisfied
Wendy not so...
Wendy wants answers
or perhaps a bribe
Karitu tries to hide in the mulberry tree
If I go a bit deeper I may not be spotted
but Wendy's keen and gives chase
Karivon spots a piece
Why miss an opportunity?
While others are busy
and no one's looking
Karivon got one away
Maggie comes down too
But Karivon can eat in peace - Maggie doesn't mind
