G'day All John here,

What I find so fascinating about the Magpie beak,
which IS NOT designed or constructed in such a way as
to be made to measure for a predator? is how many on
this list, the world's best list, have seen the end
section of the upper beak that literally breaks away
after a tap on a hard surface? it's so fragile. Yet
regrows with absolute ease? a bit like Port Adelaide I
suppose ~:^D>>>>> always comes back at you ...

I'm doing a write up on the same.

Cheers to all re: heating pad enquires.

JAG de Whag
