As a vegetarian (no offense meant or taken) my first association with nugget is gold. Either a small piece or the Aussie coin. So… they’re simply precious 🤗
I feel you, you little ball of cute fluff!
I’m offended. Why particularly at me?
The Sandwich part sent me on a little goose chase (pun intended)
There’s also the Sandwich tern (Thalasseus sandvicensis)

That’s one of my favourite ‘flat jokes’ (Flachwitze in German).
Well, hello again. I have herbal tea and delicious voles.

Little fella makes me yawn in sympathy. Is it contagious?
The vibe is the same as you get from a lot of daytime pictures from Podargus strigoides - which are often mistaken for owls. I hold a lot of sympathy for them.
