	AIMS eBooks - Cry of the Curlew
		Curlews can fight fiercely for various reasons, pinning the opponent to the ground, attacking it on the neck, the back, between the wings, or grabbing it by the tail and swirling it around.
		Curlews mainly inhabit lowland open forest, woodland and sandy creek beds but they are also on golf courses, in parks and many other locations.
		Curlew chicks can walk almost as soon as they hatch; and when the parents eat the tell-tale eggshells as a calcium supplement, the chicks are led away from the nest to a more protected area.

	Magnetic Island News - Magnetic Island, North Queensland, Australia
		The Beach Stone-curlew, which is officially classified as "Vulnerable", is similar but significantly different to the Island’s well known Bush Stone curlew or Beach Thick knee.
		The bird is thought to have a naturally low population and because it is sedentary and its habitat limited to the narrow coastal strip, any pair may well require a considerable stretch of coastline to support themselves.
		Four wheel drive vehicles on beaches and beach foreshores are also capable of destroying nests.
