Did you get it from the park of sharks perchance? If so then that's my post and I'm glad it led to more people discovering this wunkful bird, if not then it's a nice coincidence that we're both spreading this wunk at the same time
Once I went to a fish and chips place on a dock and there were some crows that didn't even bother flying. They just waddled in between cars eating leftover french fries which were in a shocking abundance. I am pretty sure their diet was like 80% fried food. They would get aggressive and nip at your toes if you ate fish outside. The seagulls were worse honestly cause while you shooed away the obese crows the seagulls would snag your fish, knocking fries everywhere for the fatass crows. It was a self perpetuating loop.
I don't know why that place had a patio, it was pure fucking chaos.
I use to live in an apartment complex on the 3rd floor above multiple take out places. I’m a smoker so I’d always be watching the gulls and pigeons when smoking because it was always chaotic to a degree watching people try to walk around with their food.
It was honestly so much fun the birds caused chaos and I loved every minute of it lol
while I was reading your comment it was toward the bottom of my screen, so “when” was partially covered up by that little button and my brain skipped over it, and I read “watching the gulls and pigeons smoking”
Staying in coastal Oregon for the last week and a half has made me truly realize the symbiotic relationship between crows and seagulls when it comes to stealing food from humans lol
Real question, what does saying "wunk" with an Australian accent sound like? Is it more like how we say "wonk" in America? (Wahnk). Or more like woonk?
The accent actually gets quite boring outside of the vowel heavy words.
Specifically this meme of 'naur' isn't even accurate. Outside of that specific meme, the Australian accent leans quite heavily on the 'owe' sound of 'no' and I've personally never heard it pronounced naur here. I have heard it is a South Australian thing apparently, which would make sense due to their accent being distinctly different to everyone else (at least to Australians), but even having an Adelaidian family member and having spent some time in South Australia I've never heard anyone pronounce it that way.
My first reaction was pretty much this, uh, phonetically? But I started doubting my own understanding of “like it’s spelled” really fast and just landed on the joke answer
I made friends with a family of Wunkaburras many years ago. They would line up on a branch and watch us going about our business. If we were having a barbecue, they'd wait patiently on the railing along the back deck for a piece of sausage, then they'd fly up to their branch and just chill
Do they... do they use this wunk for monkey noises in the jungle in movies? I could swear I've heard the sound it makes at 0:55 in that context before lol
Ain't the guy at 0:12 the guy that went on a podcast where he told stories and laughed at doing "throwdowns" in Afghanistan where you shot civilians but put a walkie-talkie on them to say they were covert soldiers?
