Australia's only twitterpated Curlew Reporter, dubbed Captain Curlew by a well known Darwin police officer who dealt with many twits in his long career , deserves a feather in his cap and a change of medication for this flighty post.
Street wise Curlews scoff at a fake white cat and a battery driven owl which are supposed to frighten them away from an empty rental property on Magnetic Island , most of which is a national park . At night , real barking owls decimate the Curlew chicks and stray cats can be murderous .
Recently Owly was seen flat on his face , raising the possibility that he had been crash tackled by a pack of Curlews who have been carried away watching through neighbourhood windows the Cowboys in hard training on television , hoping they will pluck the noisy Roosters .
