<v Speaker 2>Now in show we had an email and to be

0:04:08.845 --> 0:04:10.925
<v Speaker 2>back to school. And I don't know if this they

0:04:10.925 --> 0:04:12.485
<v Speaker 2>even still do this now, But do you remember when

0:04:12.485 --> 0:04:15.685
<v Speaker 2>there used to be a class pet table idea and

0:04:15.725 --> 0:04:18.724
<v Speaker 2>then young psychos were allowed to look after over the

0:04:18.724 --> 0:04:22.804
<v Speaker 2>weekend and hilarity did not ensue normally that thing was

0:04:22.885 --> 0:04:26.125
<v Speaker 2>lost or worse than that, perished over the weekend. But

0:04:26.164 --> 0:04:28.205
<v Speaker 2>it used to be a well known thing, didn't it.

0:04:28.284 --> 0:04:30.724
<v Speaker 2>A class would have you know it, maybe something like

0:04:30.804 --> 0:04:33.885
<v Speaker 2>a guinea pig. Did you guys ever get to look

0:04:33.924 --> 0:04:35.525
<v Speaker 2>after it? I was never trusted with it.

0:04:35.645 --> 0:04:40.565
<v Speaker 7>Yeah. We had mice in year seven, lucky parents. For

0:04:40.724 --> 0:04:43.764
<v Speaker 7>science we had to do mice. We had these white

0:04:44.364 --> 0:04:47.525
<v Speaker 7>mice and we looked after It was for the whole year,

0:04:48.205 --> 0:04:49.645
<v Speaker 7>and we had about.

0:04:49.404 --> 0:04:53.125
<v Speaker 1>Class of simpletons in that whole year.

0:04:53.804 --> 0:04:56.565
<v Speaker 2>Must have been a bunch of thickies that could like,

0:04:56.765 --> 0:04:58.724
<v Speaker 2>oh we got a special thing and just grab that.

0:04:59.765 --> 0:05:02.404
<v Speaker 1>Probably a rat, actually that was just a big ass.

0:05:02.724 --> 0:05:06.364
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, that's Marsel the mouse, big thick tail

0:05:06.924 --> 0:05:08.525
<v Speaker 1>foot long road.

0:05:08.565 --> 0:05:11.525
<v Speaker 7>And they lived in this big sort of kind of

0:05:11.964 --> 0:05:16.085
<v Speaker 7>house outhouse off the science wing at high school, and

0:05:16.125 --> 0:05:16.844
<v Speaker 7>it's stank.

0:05:17.245 --> 0:05:18.284
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember the Yeah, you're right.

0:05:18.325 --> 0:05:21.124
<v Speaker 2>The science room or the science pot had that little

0:05:21.125 --> 0:05:24.684
<v Speaker 2>outhouse where they would conduct weird experiments in there, probably

0:05:24.685 --> 0:05:27.885
<v Speaker 2>for nefarious government agencies. I thought, you know they're up

0:05:27.885 --> 0:05:31.325
<v Speaker 2>to they're up to shnanigans in the skullduggery is one

0:05:31.364 --> 0:05:32.684
<v Speaker 2>went on with those mice in there.

0:05:32.724 --> 0:05:34.724
<v Speaker 1>More than just our teaching.

0:05:34.724 --> 0:05:36.365
<v Speaker 7>Mister Novak used to go in there and have a

0:05:36.445 --> 0:05:40.125
<v Speaker 7>durry at lunchtime and have a cigarette in amongst the smell.

0:05:40.284 --> 0:05:43.645
<v Speaker 2>Yes, all the all the teachers right in the eighties

0:05:43.685 --> 0:05:47.325
<v Speaker 2>all smoked. Jimmy, you walk past that teacher's room. They

0:05:47.364 --> 0:05:49.005
<v Speaker 2>had that room where they were just crying there and

0:05:49.085 --> 0:05:52.204
<v Speaker 2>drink heavily.

0:05:53.044 --> 0:05:54.085
<v Speaker 1>And also they didn't like you.

0:05:54.445 --> 0:05:56.364
<v Speaker 2>We used to always like walk by and just stare

0:05:56.404 --> 0:05:58.044
<v Speaker 2>at the right and they used to go berserk, like

0:05:58.085 --> 0:05:58.525
<v Speaker 2>bang them.

0:05:58.445 --> 0:05:59.684
<v Speaker 1>When you go stop. Look again.

0:06:00.445 --> 0:06:05.724
<v Speaker 2>They needed that break, and it was like thick winds.

0:06:06.044 --> 0:06:08.605
<v Speaker 2>And also not just cigarette smoke like fall to a

0:06:08.724 --> 0:06:13.685
<v Speaker 2>secrets pipes. There's no teachers now smoking pipes. But they

0:06:13.685 --> 0:06:16.604
<v Speaker 2>were like especially the older teachers like history teachers.

0:06:16.205 --> 0:06:19.364
<v Speaker 7>About it was always the history teacher had a pipe.

0:06:19.125 --> 0:06:20.765
<v Speaker 1>Big old thick pipe.

0:06:20.364 --> 0:06:25.404
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, just like city in big old stone there.

0:06:26.125 --> 0:06:27.565
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, our one, right.

0:06:28.125 --> 0:06:31.724
<v Speaker 2>I used to smoke a pipe during class, so we

0:06:31.765 --> 0:06:38.724
<v Speaker 2>do Wilson to make a salient point and it would

0:06:38.724 --> 0:06:41.844
<v Speaker 2>take it out on points the mouth and you, boy,

0:06:42.404 --> 0:06:47.645
<v Speaker 2>I don't see after start chewing on that fillows cancer

0:06:47.685 --> 0:06:48.364
<v Speaker 2>states out.

0:06:48.245 --> 0:06:49.324
<v Speaker 1>Of the pipe between their teeth.

0:06:49.445 --> 0:06:53.885
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, we had mice.

0:06:54.205 --> 0:06:55.724
<v Speaker 1>Alex, what did you have? We didn't.

0:06:56.085 --> 0:06:59.365
<v Speaker 2>We didn't have any of the boarding school each other

0:06:59.364 --> 0:07:03.164
<v Speaker 2>around in the old pet about there again in the

0:07:03.205 --> 0:07:04.485
<v Speaker 2>dorms light.

0:07:05.645 --> 0:07:07.244
<v Speaker 1>Being in the country. I don't think they really trusted it.

0:07:07.525 --> 0:07:10.805
<v Speaker 1>Heavy class pit. No, we didn't have any. We had

0:07:10.845 --> 0:07:13.445
<v Speaker 1>lots of snakes in the in the school. We were

0:07:13.445 --> 0:07:14.445
<v Speaker 1>talking about the other day.

0:07:14.525 --> 0:07:19.165
<v Speaker 2>To take a pet snake over, especially brown dad, look

0:07:19.205 --> 0:07:22.605
<v Speaker 2>at this snake at school. Probably I reckon once a

0:07:22.645 --> 0:07:25.205
<v Speaker 2>month at least. But no, we never had a pit.

0:07:25.325 --> 0:07:27.285
<v Speaker 2>Did you ever get taken back? I imagine you were

0:07:27.285 --> 0:07:28.444
<v Speaker 2>a prefect like Patsy.

0:07:28.725 --> 0:07:31.365
<v Speaker 5>I think the pets were. I mean I was school

0:07:31.445 --> 0:07:32.245
<v Speaker 5>vice captain.

0:07:31.965 --> 0:07:34.685
<v Speaker 1>But it debate captain.

0:07:35.485 --> 0:07:39.045
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but I think it was getting phased out. I'd

0:07:39.045 --> 0:07:40.765
<v Speaker 5>love to know people still do it, because we didn't

0:07:40.804 --> 0:07:42.925
<v Speaker 5>have any pets by all the time I was at school.

0:07:42.925 --> 0:07:45.485
<v Speaker 2>You weren't, just didn't. I can't imagine it's allowed to

0:07:45.485 --> 0:07:49.165
<v Speaker 2>do now. It seems crazy and rightly so. Animals have rights,

0:07:49.765 --> 0:07:53.564
<v Speaker 2>and one of them is young psychos aka kids don't

0:07:53.605 --> 0:07:56.205
<v Speaker 2>look after us at the weekend. People that can't look

0:07:56.245 --> 0:07:59.165
<v Speaker 2>after themselves and trusted with a school pet. It's a

0:07:59.245 --> 0:08:01.925
<v Speaker 2>terrible idea, all right, called it now thirteen fifty five

0:08:02.005 --> 0:08:04.205
<v Speaker 2>twenty two. Did you get to look after the class pet?

0:08:04.285 --> 0:08:06.244
<v Speaker 1>What was it? And does it still happen to this day?

0:08:07.405 --> 0:08:10.645
<v Speaker 4>You were Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:08:11.765 --> 0:08:13.605
<v Speaker 1>Taking you back to school, two women.

0:08:13.685 --> 0:08:17.085
<v Speaker 2>We used to have class pets, an actual animal and

0:08:17.125 --> 0:08:19.485
<v Speaker 2>then wait for it. The kicker is we were allowed

0:08:19.485 --> 0:08:23.324
<v Speaker 2>to take it home, so I revenber. Actually sometimes during

0:08:23.485 --> 0:08:26.285
<v Speaker 2>the summer holidays someone would have it for a couple

0:08:26.285 --> 0:08:29.925
<v Speaker 2>of weeks and that you never saw that animal ever again.

0:08:30.165 --> 0:08:32.245
<v Speaker 1>It was everything brought up, like, hey, why has that rabbit?

0:08:32.285 --> 0:08:35.204
<v Speaker 2>By the way, they weren't even asked. The school were

0:08:35.245 --> 0:08:39.845
<v Speaker 2>like and that's the end of that problem. Though, because

0:08:39.925 --> 0:08:42.204
<v Speaker 2>one of the old thickies has got it, you know,

0:08:42.285 --> 0:08:47.845
<v Speaker 2>like from some meny. Yes, Lenny, we've got a real

0:08:47.845 --> 0:08:50.645
<v Speaker 2>life Lenny, I didn't heard a rabbit.

0:08:52.045 --> 0:08:54.084
<v Speaker 1>Blenda's on the line. Blenda, you're a teacher.

0:08:54.485 --> 0:08:56.804
<v Speaker 6>Yes i am. I'm a primary school teacher, right, just.

0:08:56.725 --> 0:08:58.844
<v Speaker 2>Who we're looking for this morning. So do you still

0:08:58.845 --> 0:08:59.925
<v Speaker 2>have class pets?

0:09:00.405 --> 0:09:00.605
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:09:00.765 --> 0:09:04.725
<v Speaker 6>Up until five Up until five years ago, I had

0:09:04.845 --> 0:09:08.965
<v Speaker 6>four blue tongue lizards and quite a lot of finally

0:09:09.084 --> 0:09:11.525
<v Speaker 6>stick insects, right.

0:09:11.725 --> 0:09:13.804
<v Speaker 2>Right, all right, And so there's no more of this

0:09:13.925 --> 0:09:16.325
<v Speaker 2>any more. Kids getting to look after over the weekend.

0:09:17.925 --> 0:09:20.965
<v Speaker 6>Well, they used to see them during class and take

0:09:21.005 --> 0:09:23.725
<v Speaker 6>them out. They'd stick the spine leaf stick insects on

0:09:23.765 --> 0:09:26.325
<v Speaker 6>their pencil cases, or they call up their arms on

0:09:26.365 --> 0:09:32.205
<v Speaker 6>their heads, and when the stick insects multiplied, they would

0:09:32.245 --> 0:09:34.805
<v Speaker 6>be able to take them home and peat them. Right,

0:09:35.204 --> 0:09:37.084
<v Speaker 6>because when they multiplied, you'd get hundreds.

0:09:38.245 --> 0:09:42.405
<v Speaker 2>It's the seven of the rabbits as well. Stick Linda,

0:09:42.485 --> 0:09:44.245

<v Speaker 5>This is the Sean Dooley. He's the Chief BURDENRD of Australia. Yes,

0:10:00.045 --> 0:10:02.245
<v Speaker 5>and he used to have a segment I believe called

0:10:02.324 --> 0:10:04.364
<v Speaker 5>squawk Back on ABC Radio.

0:10:04.444 --> 0:10:06.925
<v Speaker 2>Bring it Back, Bring It Back, Sean. Just a man,

0:10:06.965 --> 0:10:09.085
<v Speaker 2>I need to speak to Sean. Welcome to the show.

0:10:10.045 --> 0:10:11.285
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, Christian.

0:10:11.684 --> 0:10:14.325
<v Speaker 1>So you're a fellow bird lover. Are you an ornithologist?

0:10:15.485 --> 0:10:19.165
<v Speaker 3>No, no, but I am. I work with BirdLife Australia

0:10:19.204 --> 0:10:21.645
<v Speaker 3>who run the Aussie Bird Count every year, which is

0:10:21.684 --> 0:10:25.165
<v Speaker 3>just about to kick off in October. So I'm on

0:10:25.285 --> 0:10:29.605
<v Speaker 3>the bridge between the bird nerds and the general public translator.

0:10:30.365 --> 0:10:31.684
<v Speaker 1>Yes, right, I gotcha.

0:10:31.845 --> 0:10:32.845
<v Speaker 3>I speak bird and.

0:10:36.045 --> 0:10:38.405
<v Speaker 1>Love it Sean. What is the bird Count then? What

0:10:38.525 --> 0:10:38.725
<v Speaker 1>is that?

0:10:39.804 --> 0:10:42.724
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a thing we do at BirdLife Australia every

0:10:42.804 --> 0:10:45.725
<v Speaker 3>year where we get people to count the download the

0:10:45.725 --> 0:10:48.165
<v Speaker 3>bird Count app and count birds in their backyard.

0:10:48.204 --> 0:10:51.925
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, we got we're talking Okay, the listeners

0:10:51.925 --> 0:10:52.364
<v Speaker 1>to do this.

0:10:53.564 --> 0:10:56.564
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, we'd love it because it feels in a

0:10:56.645 --> 0:11:00.045
<v Speaker 3>huge gap of knowledge for us at BirdLife because we

0:11:00.045 --> 0:11:02.765
<v Speaker 3>don't know enough about our common birds. We focus generally

0:11:02.804 --> 0:11:05.765
<v Speaker 3>on rare birds and so this really helps, but also

0:11:06.045 --> 0:11:08.885
<v Speaker 3>it means that people can work out what what the

0:11:08.925 --> 0:11:10.644
<v Speaker 3>hell it is that's making that noise.

0:11:10.405 --> 0:11:12.684
<v Speaker 1>In that that's me. That's me today, Shawn, You're just right.

0:11:12.804 --> 0:11:14.244
<v Speaker 3>I made this app I do.

0:11:14.444 --> 0:11:14.885
<v Speaker 1>What's the app?

0:11:14.925 --> 0:11:16.485
<v Speaker 2>Because I know there's probably a lot of people listening

0:11:16.525 --> 0:11:18.805
<v Speaker 2>that fancy doing this and if you've got kids and family,

0:11:18.845 --> 0:11:20.405
<v Speaker 2>what a great thing to do teaching about the ones

0:11:20.444 --> 0:11:21.165
<v Speaker 2>of the natural world.

0:11:21.405 --> 0:11:22.125
<v Speaker 1>What's the app?

0:11:23.005 --> 0:11:26.325
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's called the Ossie bird Camp app and it's

0:11:26.605 --> 0:11:29.324
<v Speaker 3>the registrations have just open so you can download it,

0:11:29.365 --> 0:11:33.364
<v Speaker 3>but you can't count until October. But there's a little

0:11:33.405 --> 0:11:35.965
<v Speaker 3>feature on the app which you can put the details

0:11:36.005 --> 0:11:38.365
<v Speaker 3>of a bird you see, like its size, shape and color,

0:11:38.405 --> 0:11:41.485
<v Speaker 3>and it'll give you some suggestions with photos of what

0:11:41.525 --> 0:11:44.525
<v Speaker 3>that bird might actually be that's driving in nuts in

0:11:44.564 --> 0:11:45.084
<v Speaker 3>your backyard.

0:11:45.165 --> 0:11:46.324
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is me right now? Then?

0:11:46.405 --> 0:11:50.205
<v Speaker 2>What by Sean is this? It's three parts to it.

0:11:50.204 --> 0:11:55.444
<v Speaker 2>It's uh all day long, twenty four seven. It goes

0:11:55.444 --> 0:11:58.084
<v Speaker 2>to work at about five thirty am.

0:11:58.285 --> 0:12:00.444
<v Speaker 1>Uh uh what is that?

0:12:00.444 --> 0:12:08.324
<v Speaker 3>Sean Unkenny? Is your just what your impersonation is? I

0:12:09.125 --> 0:12:12.085
<v Speaker 3>think with the tonya using I reckon It's actually a

0:12:12.125 --> 0:12:16.204
<v Speaker 3>pied curral which is like a member of the magpie family,

0:12:17.005 --> 0:12:19.605
<v Speaker 3>but it's a bit bigger, with a with a yellow

0:12:19.645 --> 0:12:23.045
<v Speaker 3>eye and much more black. And they people who've been

0:12:23.084 --> 0:12:25.125
<v Speaker 3>to the snow would know it because it used to

0:12:25.165 --> 0:12:27.045
<v Speaker 3>sort of only be up in the mountains, but they've

0:12:27.165 --> 0:12:31.245
<v Speaker 3>they've migrated into the cities in like Sydney in the

0:12:31.285 --> 0:12:34.125
<v Speaker 3>eighties and nineties, then Melbourne in the last twenty years.

0:12:34.365 --> 0:12:37.604
<v Speaker 3>And I reckon that that might that might be the call.

0:12:37.645 --> 0:12:40.125
<v Speaker 3>It's giving a it's quite a loud one and.

0:12:40.165 --> 0:12:43.165
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, really really, i'd say loud splash irritating.

0:12:44.444 --> 0:12:45.885
<v Speaker 1>You can't sleep in at the weekend.

0:12:45.965 --> 0:12:49.885
<v Speaker 2>That thing is up there at like five thirty am.

0:12:50.285 --> 0:12:52.925
<v Speaker 2>It's like, get up and you can't turn that. You know,

0:12:53.045 --> 0:12:55.485
<v Speaker 2>some bird noises you turn them off, you can kind

0:12:55.525 --> 0:12:55.844
<v Speaker 2>of like.

0:12:58.365 --> 0:12:59.645
<v Speaker 1>So it's a pied.

0:12:59.405 --> 0:13:02.085
<v Speaker 3>Krawan, yes, yeah, black and white one.

0:13:02.165 --> 0:13:03.645
<v Speaker 1>So there different types of krawan.

0:13:04.525 --> 0:13:07.525
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's a there's a gray carawong, but that's much

0:13:07.605 --> 0:13:10.765
<v Speaker 3>more found out in the bush, right, and so you

0:13:10.845 --> 0:13:14.125
<v Speaker 3>get it on the fringes of Melbourne and sort of

0:13:14.204 --> 0:13:16.245
<v Speaker 3>Geelong and prices like that, but it's not really in

0:13:16.285 --> 0:13:19.124
<v Speaker 3>the suburbs much. There's another line in Tezzi called the

0:13:19.204 --> 0:13:21.605
<v Speaker 3>Black carow On, which is the biggest of the lot.

0:13:21.804 --> 0:13:25.285
