Many years ago I was camped at Kinchega National Park with an elderly
couple (probably younger than I am now) for neighbours. The old fellow
bought a shoe-box of treasures over to my camp and showed me a rabbit skull
that he thought was the skull of a parrot. I have some expertise in the
identification of animal bones and tried to explain why it was a rabbit
skull - the teeth are a bit of a give away! However, my neighbour refused
to accept that the skull wasn't a parrot and said that it was obvious that
what I thought were the rabbit's incisors was actually the parrot's bill.
I ended up conceding that the rabbit skull was a parrot!
