Chook is a buzzard.

A buzzard who LOVES eggs!

So of course, Easter is his favourite time of the year.


In the wild, black-breasted buzzards use stones to crack open emu eggs, which help fatten them up for the breeding season.

Black-breasted buzzards are only found in Australia, and actually aren’t true buzzards at all, but kites!

Shot (poorly) with a humble iPhone, so please excuse the quality.

Videos can't be attached to the first post, to my knowledge, so please see the next post down :)

Wow, egg-cellent Easter indeed! Chook worked so hard to open his egg. Thanks for sharing Chook's happy day!
 
What a fascinating bird! Chook worked quite hard to get his Easter treat:D
 
Wow, thanks for sharing :)! Loved seeing that. It's funny when he kept missing lol.
 
That was amazing! Just goes to show that you should never give up, no matter how hard you have to work for something!
 
Hahaha that was fabulous! He worked so hard! At first I was feeling sorry for him, thinking it was one of those solid decor eggs! I am so happy all his hard work paid off! What a cutie.
