Just as much trouble at a third the size.
There's a reason we keep them isolated in Tasmania...
Just like we do with Legbreaker...
Now I understand!

Yeah, I've been stuck on this island without parole. Last time I was let out was five years ago for 4 days.
The mainland is still recovering...

Yeah, the UN told us we have to give Leg time off for good behaviour.
When we told 'em that for us good behaviour is going to the pub, getting pissed, spewing over the place, pissing on the police wagon, propositioning the sheilas, soupin' up the Monaro and then driving 50 miles to the next pub while stealing a few jumbucks and drainin' the goon bag along the way just to do it all again, they told us to keep him locked up for longer!

And they called us uncivilized brutes...

I think they might be right?

We're civilised, we've just taken it to the next level!

Which is of course not a good thing but it seems you are the example of what happens to the Irish with out rules.
Now me I am the truly civilized Irishman, I carry a handgun not a stick made from a tree root and I drink Scotch.
Pffft

There's anecdotal claims of Wedgies* attacking helicopters that strayed too close to nests during the breeding season.

* No not the thing bullies do with someone's undies, it's local slang for the Aquila audax AKA the Wedge-tailed Eagle. Aquila audax is latin for audacious eagle, need we say more?

However... for anyone thinking "Ah that's just the Aussies talking shit again**" I offer the following: -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeCUbz8FB6A Wedgie harassing a paraglider
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xElYBEpHiu4 Wedgies going in for a kill on a roo - yes, they will gang-up to kill large animals.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMj6AqcDBU4 A wedgie slightly miffed that it has to share its airspace with a mere human in an ultra-light glider
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxDxcrusAew Wedgie harassing an RC plane - make sure to watch the part starting at the 43 second mark


** Okay, so we do, but in this case, we aren't exaggerating!
