At Easter time we do have a variant on the chocolate Easter bunny. They are called Bilbies. A (live) Bilby is an imperilled native animal with long ears. The chocolate ones are promoted as an alternative to bunnies. Rabbits are an introduced pest species in Australia. Bilbies are waay cuter. If you buy the right brand of chocolate Bilbies some money goes to conservation. Then you also donate a larger sum to your family dentist later. http://members.optusnet.com.au/bilbies/Easter_Bilby.htm Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Sonny Carter Sent: Tuesday, 10 April 2007 08:50 To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: OT RE: [Leica] Birds in my car On 4/9/07, G Hopkinson <hoppyman@bigpond.net.au> wrote: > > Just for a cultural update, do the USAians call these mini chicken > fellows, peeps?
