How poisonous they are?

[-] AnAustralianPhotographer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I'm not aware of them being poisonous. I wasn't in fear of my safety at any time while near them and treated them like a chicken or turkey. When i did try and get close, they moved away a little and I wasn't trying to pick it up or touch it, i don't think anyone recommends that. If i did, i guess the worst I was have expected was a scratching.
