Here's one in from Melbourne, Vic
We visited this zoo one day and my three year old daughter wanted to see the (big bird) emus, so off we went to the walkthrough to see them. My daughter was giving an emu a piece of bread when it tuned and walked away. She followed it in disgust that big bird walked away, and as she grabbed for it's tail feathers it let go of the most emu poop I had ever seen, problem being, my daughter was too close and ended up covered from head to toe in very wet emu poop.
After I picked myself up off the ground and stopped laughing, we cleaned her up. She managed to be bitten by an Ibis five minutes later and now at the age of fifteen, she will not go near a bird for fear of being pooped on or bitten. But wow, what a laugh it was.
