From the article:

One Twitter user who lives nearby in Wentworth Falls, New South Wales, said the bird had once tried to steal his shopping and that it “cons tourists out of their snacks”.

“He is a liar and a thief,” he added.

I was in the downstairs courtyard of a local pub at the weekend, and this happened:

She flew down, hopped over the stairs, settled down in the planter and proceeded to lay several eggs in front of me. Note the nest material… my son’s comment was “And you watched! You know it’s hard to go when you’re watched!”

Bar staff described her and hubby as ‘worst parents ever’
