An obese kookaburra has been given its own personal trainer to get back into shape.
You know we live in a world were abundance is a problem when even the wildlife gets too fat.
A Sydney resident brought the bird to the zoo after spotting dogs chasing it along the ground.
Why did they intervene? Sounds like it needed the exercise.
The native Australian bird got into trouble with its weight when residents at a Sydney park began feeding her meat from the barbecues. The kookaburra's been down at the rehabilitation aviary for a couple of weeks on a special 'lite n'easy' diet designed by the zoo's bird keeper.
It's not the first strange-looking bird to be offered rehab. But the other one said, "No, no, no!"
