Obesity can kill. We know that, but this bird did not. A visitor to a park in Sydney saw a kookaburra bird being chased by dogs. But this bird was so obese it could not fly away.
Obesity can kill. We know that, but this bird did not. A visitor to a park in Sydney saw a kookaburra bird being chased by dogs. But this bird was so obese it could not fly away. Taking pity on the bird, the passerby took it to the Sydney zoo. The zoo put her on a strict diet and exercise regimen and the bird is now flying again. The bird’s diet, like that of many in the park where people barbeque, included bits of sausages. Wonder what the result is on people who eat the sausages whole.
