The eyes and beak in combination give the bird an amusing expression

    I love them! They’re like the naughtier, more energetic versions of our brush tailed possums

      I went to watch some videos of the possums, and thinking of them in the context of squirrels, they felt excruciatingly slow! 😄

      They don’t have that springy weightlessness of a squirrel, and it felt more like watching a monkey.

      There were 4 squirrels in the back yard when I got home, so I gave them peanuts for about 20 minutes for you!

      I will mail you 2 squirrels in exchange for a kookaburra!
