World's Largest Bird Munchie

When the owners of Vortex Industries Pty Ltd decided to exhibit in the highly successful Pet andAnimal Expos, they knew they needed an attention getter, but what?

"How about a giant Bird Munchie",someone said, "Oh yeah sure" came the reply, then............"Why not?"

Three weeks later, what started out as a joke became a 650Kg Bird Munchie ready for the Sydney Pet & Animal Expo held at the Sydney show grounds. A Guess the Weight competition was run offering $1,000 first prize for the closest correct entry and the crowds loved it. The exhibit went so well, it was taken to Brisbane a few months later for the 2nd Brisbane Pet & Animal Expo held at the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre. The people of Brisbane joined in to make it a memorable and brilliantly successful event.

UPDATE:
The shows are over, the people have all gone home and what do you do with a 650Kg bird seed ring then.

A couple of the locals had a few suggestions and here they are. This was taken in a local park near Canberra in Australia. It has taken only a few short weeks to reach this stage. Another few feasts and it will just be a skeleton. Still, it was good fun.
