In Kakadu, you can see Bamarru (Magpie Goose) gathering in a big mob. Sometimes hundreds at once, and as they set to flight all at once, it is a beautiful sight to see. Traditionally magpie geese were hunted by spears that were often launched with the help of Borndok (in Kunwok for a spear thrower). Magpie geese are an important food source for many locals, still to this day.
