    We tried rubbing sticks together, and even made a fire drill, but never managed to get even a whiff of smoke from these.

    RSL sexist- Birds not allowed to drink?

    "He didn't have ID so couldn't get a drink," he said of the appearance at the RSL."

    "
    A rare bird normally found in the central Pacific, which lost its way and ended up on a pub balcony in Sydney, has been released back into its natural habitat.Key points:

    • A rarely seen Bulwer's petrel, usually found in the central Pacific, blew way off course and ended up in Cronulla in NSW
    • After spending a week recovering, the bird — nicknamed Buggerlugs — was flown to Darwin and released
    • An ornithologist involved in Buggerlugs' release says letting him go in New South Wales would have been "like releasing it in the desert"



    In the first officially recorded appearance of a live Bulwer's petrel in Australia, the bird nicknamed Buggerlugs
    "


    Travelling in style

    Buggerlugs was fattened up with southern bluefin tuna (at $130 per kilo), wombaroo, insectivore mix, and sea water.Funds were raised and tickets booked to bring Buggerlugs to Darwin on a scheduled commercial flight.
