@erkpod I had an unexpectedly big gap between meetings.
@erkpod We did all that during my extensive Twitter thread about bin chickens.
What an excellent unit of measure. https://t.co/IlERlQyXgf
@staticsan Eh? That’s The Rocks, but the sky is very blue all over.

Terrible view from this client’s premises. pic.twitter.com/dm5PiAl8TB
I cannot keep up with all your ibis-related tweets, and now I have to head up to The Rocks for my 1430 meeting. Do try to cope without me.
So both these things are true. https://t.co/O6GyqUD1bN
I wouldn’t eat an ibis, given the crap they eat these days. Anyway, they’re “protected native faunaâ€. @RealNickHodge https://t.co/IRtGPkkPI9
@reillystyley That is quite scary, really.
The ibis is a pretty half-arsed Australian animal, though. It should be poisonous or something.
I’m not sure that I wanted to know this much about bin chickens. But it was fun seeing that guy make the mistake of giving one of them food.
I think we are all learning a very great many things about bin chickens today.

@munin I suppose so, and at @R_Chirgwin reminds me… https://t.co/SxywFUp5kd
A juvenile magpie just tried to take one of the chicken bones but an ibis attacked it and now the magpie is confused.
I will say, though, that there’s still some wetlands with ibises in western Sydney, and those ibises eat properly and keep themselves clean.
Yes. They’re called idiots. https://t.co/LXs85brlGD
That arsehat ibis is going to fill up with bones. Surely they can’t digest bones? Or at least not quickly?

@esetaustralia Not quite. pic.twitter.com/Lqsdiul4WL
Also, this means that the bin chickens have turned carnivore.
Yes, it’s stealing chicken, and one of the stupid birds is swallowing the bones whole. CHICKEN BONES ARE NOT WORMS. https://t.co/Uru44ZV8tq
@will_ock Yes but I’m starting to get the impression you’re a bit weird.
@munin They’re native. Australian white ibis (Threskiornis moluccus). https://t.co/vYKkg5QiXw
@oberonsghost They also nest in the trees on Macquarie Street, by the Botanic Gardens. And in Penrith.
