supasi Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 "Rark Rark" birds. Thats what they are called in our family. As kids we had a family of them that used to nest in the roof every year. All you heard was Rark Rark. I do like them though. As Mark said, very cheeky :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
