Thats about right. When I was a kid we were driving arround the south west of Australia. We saw two of these in flight... then one of them took a dump..... that was lifechanging... wouldnt want to be on the receiving end lets just say....

Tis true they are pretty big especially when you are flying around and they sit just off your wingtip of a glider enjoying the thermal like I was...

I have many experiences with these around my area while gliding and even had one try to attack but it broke off eventually

I remember my mother put the budgie outside to fumigate inside. A wedgetail tore the cage apart. The eagle didn't actually get the budgie but it died anyway. Looked like its heart simply stopped.

There are several stories about Benjamin Franklin really being unhappy with the choice =D, not only does he eat mostly fish, he mostly scavenges off hawks instead of doing his own hunting.

well, Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national animal, not the bald eagle.

wonder what Aussies would "choose"

Certainly not roadkill, so that's all the land animals out

Not the Eagle, cause no one heard of em

Prob a Great White
