Is it true that in Australia, when you open the back door, there are herds of kangaroos, standing there,?

Absolutely! A mob (not "herd") of roos are always there begging for food scraps.
Imagine what it would be like if yo live in a row of apartments - a mob at each back door!!!! Crikey!

Not only roos. There will also be magpies, white cockatoos, and galahs (they are the worst) fighting for a prime piece of ground to beg food from you.

Yes. It's best you try and avoid this situation, remember large kangaroos can jump over 8 foot fences so just having a fence will not protect you. The most common way that's used to keep them out of your back yard is to spray witchety grub oil (available in supermarkets), over your lawn. The witchety grub is historically, the kangaroos mortal enemy.
If you are unlucky enough to find youself in a situation where you can't get away and they are staring you down, wetting yourself and making a noise like a kookaburra has proven to be the most effective method of breaking thier concentration, giving you the chance to escape.
Hope this helps.

Do you have a roo loose in the top paddock? I don't .

Well let me ask you, Is it true in the U.S, when you walk out the door there are herds of obese people with guns waiting to mug you and steal your big SUV? To answer your question, no there isnt. They are out the front door (im kidding).

I can't wait for your next question mate so that i can learn what i'll find outside my front door

When I lived on acreage in country Queensland yes we would always have between 7-10 kangaroos hanging around near our house fence - not really staring us humans down - but over the years they studiously ignored my 2 dogs knowing that they couldn't get them through the fence. We even had the occasional echidna and koala - yes it all sounds like something from a child's book idea of Australia - but someone has to live near the millions of kangaroos we have here.

Oh LOL!
I don't think you would last too long here, Aussies are taught to open the front door before the back, so that when they run through the house they go back out the front.
You probably just have Avon ladies, but roos are more fun.
You don't have too many sheep in the top paddock, do you?

No, the ones at my back door are usually lying on the ground with a .308 bullet in their heads.

How else are we supposed to feed our cattle dogs??

We're not overly concerned with the kangaroos, it's the dropbears that cause the most problems ;-)

Marnie_Australia

yes, because there are so many kangaroos in australia that there can be 20 or 30 in the backyard of all of our 21 million residents - that's, what, more than 400 million kangaroos in our country? even in those huge apartment buildings, etc :). quite amazing animals really :).

Yes, everything you hear about us is true.
(But, I could be fibbing about that.)

depends on how many drinks you just had.

I heard that millions of years ago kangaroos were carnivorous. Sometimes when they stare at you I think that deep, deep, deep down they remember those days.

Evidence: In a fair fight between a Dingo and a Kangaroo - the Kangaroo wins. The kangaroo rears up on his tail and uses his hind claws to rip into the dingo. I wonder if T-Rex ever did the same. Dingos are smarter though and hunt in pairs. One Dingo gets the Kangaroo's attention while the Other sneaks up behind and.

My grandfather used to box with a kangaroo and I am told this kangaroo was very good at boxing. As an aside my mother had one as a pet and she won't eat kangaroo whereas I quite like the flavour.

So I agree kangaroos do have that intense stare :o lol

Think I will sit back and wait for someone to make the movie.

noob

yea its like havin dinner hop up to ur door, i got a dingo as a pet so he never goes hungary and we can sell the roos for money 2 so we are living it up, down under with our vegimite sandwiches

Have you taken too many steroids? Or do you just like asking ridiculous questions.

Country Bumpkin

Yep, sure thing.
There are hundreds of kangaroo's in my back garden and when I open the back door I have to fight my way clear of them just to take the garbage out.....gosh, don't ask idiot questions!

jennifer h

No usually only 2 or 3 they just want to say Hoo Roo and hop off again. They play that game you possibly did when you was little , Knock on someones door and run
