Australia says SORRY to Aboriginals
Feb 13, 2008. Australia says SORRY to Aboriginals for Stolen Generations.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd Wednesday offered an apology to indigenous Australians for the wrongs committed by the state in the past.
Amidst tears and cheers in the Federal Parliament, Rudd said the long awaited SORRY three times to members of the Stolen Generations comprising tens and thousands of children who were forcibly removed from their families between 1900 and 1970 under the Government Assimilation Policies to breed out their Aborigine blood and supposedly give them a better life.

Daffy the duck and Jock the West Highland Terrier who are best friends at the Green Dragon pub, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, Britain - 09 Oct 2006
UK PAPERS OUT
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matthew Power / Rex Features (614164a)
A dog and a duck have struck up an unlikely friendship - behind the bar of a pub called the Green Dragon. The unlikely story began when landlord Grant Adlam saved several eggs from a duck's nest which had been attacked by crows. The mother had abandoned the nest so Mr Adlam incubated the eggs in his airing cupboard, turning them every day. 'Two weeks after I saved the eggs, I heard a squeaking noise coming from the cupboard, and when I opened it Daffy was sitting on the floor' he said. Mr Adlam, landlord of the Green Dragon pub in Cambridge asked for advice from the Wildlife Society, which advised him on how to care for Daffy. Daffy, now eight weeks old, has been a huge hit with visitors to the pub as well as Mr Adlam's pet dog, west highland terrier Jock. Jock, who Mr Adlam describes as incredibly friendly and loving, has become very protective of the young bird. Mr Adlam said: 'They get on like a house on fire. Jock is there waiting for her first thing every morning when I go to let her out'. And it seems Jock's feelings are reciprocated - Jock and Daffy in the bar of the pub

A mother cat who lost her kittens at birth is nursing two baby ducklings, Sugito village, Saitama Prefecture, Japan - 23 Jul 2007
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Masatoshi Okauchi / Rex Features ( 677374i )
When Hiroko the cat's three kittens died she didn't have time to mourn their loss - she simply became surrogate mother to two ducklings.
The 3-year-old lost all her babies within days of them being born, but when her owners, Norio and Yoshiko Endo of Saitama Prefecture, Japan, accidentally left the cat with the newly hatched ducklings she immediately began caring for them as if they were her own. Mr Endo had bought a pair of spot-billed duck eggs from a local farmer, but when they hatched he shut Hiroko into the same room as the ducklings by mistake. When he re-entered the room he found the motherly pussy grooming the ducks and treating them as if they were her kittens and now the fluffy ducks have waddled into her life Hiroko is the happiest cat in town.

Grey Heron and Tufted Duck, Grey Heron on an island at the London Wetlands Centre in Barnes stabbing at a young full-grown Tufted Duck and then picking it out of the water and letting it go again. Eventually the duck died and the Heron tried to eat it head first by throwing back its head and gulping, but the duck was just too big for it. This went on for a few minutes until the Heron gave up and walked off around the margin of the island as if nothing had happened.
Grey Heron tries to eat Tufted Duck, London Wetlands Centre, Barnes, Britain - 28 Aug 2008
HERON STRUGGLES TO SWALLOW MIGHTY MOUTHFUL
This Grey Heron got a real mouthful after trying to eat a young Tufted Duck.
Spying what it obviously decided was lunch the heron, which was on an island at the London Wetlands Centre in Barnes, repeatedly stabbed at the duck with its long beak.
It then proceeded to kill the duck by picking it out of the water and letting it go again several times.
However, things went wrong when the heron tried to neck back its snack.
Trying to eat the duck head first it threw back its head and gulped. But the duck was just too big for it.
The heron struggled on for several minutes before eventually giving up and abandoning its prize.
Unruffled, it walked off around the margin of the island as if nothing had happened.

Eventually the duck died and the Heron tried to eat it head first by throwing back its head and gulping, but the duck was just too big for it. This went on for a few minutes until the Heron gave up and walked off around the margin of the island as if nothing had happened.

HERON STRUGGLES TO SWALLOW MIGHTY MOUTHFUL
This Grey Heron got a real mouthful after trying to eat a young Tufted Duck.
Spying what it obviously decided was lunch the heron, which was on an island at the London Wetlands Centre in Barnes, repeatedly stabbed at the duck with its long beak.
It then proceeded to kill the duck by picking it out of the water and letting it go again several times.
However, things went wrong when the heron tried to neck back its snack.
Trying to eat the duck head first it threw back its head and gulped. But the duck was just too big for it.
The heron struggled on for several minutes before eventually giving up and abandoning its prize.
Unruffled, it walked off around the margin of the island as if nothing had happened.

The Crane family, who specialise in hiring out animals for children's parties, East Hagbourne, Oxon, Britain - 2009
THE ANIMAL ANTICS OF THE CRANE FAMILY
The Crane family have turned passion into profit thanks to their unique creature company.
Animal Magic Pony Parties specialises in providing a wide variety of creatures great and small for children's parties and corporate events.
The idea for the company grew out of mum Sarah Crane's obsession with animals when she was growing up.
While most young girls yearn for a pony Sarah was so in love with critters of every kind that, at the age of seven, her most treasured pet was a worm named Freda.
Unbeknownst to her parents, she kept Freda in a pink bucket that she dangled out of her bedroom window.
Like any conscientious pet owner, young Sarah carefully cared for Freda by changing her soil and feeding her leaves.
As she grew older Sarah persuaded her mother to let her have a tortoise and a hamster and her love for animals was cemented.
When she was 10 she started an animal club with her friends and they would scour the countryside looking for injured birds and abandoned baby hedgehogs.
And sick or injured animals they stumbled across were then carefully looked after until they returned to health.
In her teenage years Sarah's animal mad nature didn't change and she found a like-minded nature lover in the form of boyfriend Robert when she was 15.
While others there age settled down to watch the latest pop bands on Top Of The Pops they turned over to David Attenborough wildlife documentaries.
In her late teens Sarah trained as a motorbike engineer and she and Robert headed off around the globe on a series of animal adventures.
After they returned to England they got married and their daughter Jasmine, now eight, was born, quickly f...

Mother Duck treads on one of her ducklings, Britain - 01 Jul 2009
THE YOUNGSTER THAT FORGOT TO DUCK
This unlucky youngster's failure to duck certainly led to a few ruffled feathers.
The duckling and his siblings were all out for a wander with mum when an unfortunate incident occurred.
Maybe their bird-brained parent wanted to show who is boss, or maybe she just simply wasn't looking where she was going.
After all when you've got four youngsters to care for you can often find them under your feet and in the way.
Which may go some way towards explaining why, on its way to have his first swim, this duckling ended up squashed under his mother's foot.
The incident was captured by eagle eyed photographer Ben Storey who caught the youngster's being literally flattened by love.
Happily the duckling emerged unscathed from the incident and both mother and baby seemed unconcerned.
Following the flattening the mother duck simply giving her youngster a quick glance to check he was ok before waddling off.

The Great British Duck Race 2009, Hampton Court, London, Britain - 06 Sep 2009
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Simpson / Rex Features ( 999802f )
GOING QUACKERS AT THE GREAT BRITISH DUCK RACE
Over 200,000 blue rubber ducks floated their way down the Thames today (6 Sept) as part of the Great British Duck Race.
The ducks were released at Molesey lock near Hampton Court Palace and filled a 1,100 yard stretch of the river.
They were then successfully 'raced' together down a 1km stretch of the river, in an attempt to set a new world record.
At last year's race 175,000 ducks successfully took part, creating a new world record. However, this has since been smashed by 25,000 due to a similar event in Shanghai.
It costs GBP 2 to adopt a duck in the race, and there are 30 top prizes, including a first prize of GBP 10,000.
The official 'race' entrants are blue, instead of the more traditional yellow, due to problems in previous years with people throwing their own unofficial plastic birds into the water.
Money raised from the event will benefit the NSPCC and all of the ducks will be recycled.
