Just imagine the fright the bird got
From memory, we heard a noise,then the power went out.Took a while to work out what had happened
I remember the Old Man picking up the pieces of chain on the ground,with a pair of pliers as they still pretty hot,and telling us not to say anything to anyone,particularly the electrical authority, SEA(this was before SEQEB ) guys who were wandering around trying to work out WTF had actually happened.
Anyway,a few months later we moved to Daisy Hill,which was out in the sticks and a fringe suburb in the day.
We built a huge cage for her.We had her for over 20yrs,sadly,she ended getting an incurable degenerative disease.
A great pet,when on the running line she would chase after a thrown cork cricket ball and bring it back.
I will have to dig out a pic.
