Gday Tom

Its a large Australian bird about 5 feet tall that eats Kangaroos - closely related to the Dropbear.

Nah - its just Aussie slang for what Colonel Sanders made his money from (and I dont mean voluminous backsides).

You can pluck em, fry em, broil em and even search for them in HII regions when there's too much moon in the sky.

Now if I could just see a Centaur shooting an arrow in Sag. instead of a teapot then I would be fullfilled.

Hi Tom,

I think you have caught the " Dodo " Nebula there, not the Running Chicken.

Also to let you know....A " chook " is what we Aussies call a Chicken.

The guys who coined its name were Poms who drank too much Twinings Chamomile Tea and it went to their heads

Actually, I can see that!
Maybe it could be sketched out as an Archibald entry for next year.

Great artwork lads, these etchings would not be out of place in the "Grand Masters" tour.

I also can now see the chook, been looking at the wrong way round all these years.

Cheers

I feel like a goose - I always thought this was the chook.

(BTW hope Tom doesn't mind me massacring his NB chook, haven't got one of my own)
