One of the birds by the trail on a walk i did recently near Shelly Beach, Manly, Australia.

Apologies for the lower quality, it was taken with my phone.

      I’m not aware of them being poisonous. I wasn’t in fear of my safety at any time while near them and treated them like a chicken or turkey. When i did try and get close, they moved away a little and I wasn’t trying to pick it up or touch it, i don’t think anyone recommends that. If i did, i guess the worst I was have expected was a scratching.
