Jibilyurr (ducks from the Anatidae family) arrive and build their nests in the thick grass growth around the waterholes, in readiness to lay their eggs. Traditionally, they were difficult to catch as people had only a Nawulu (hitting stick) and their stealth. Nowadays, guns are used.

In the evening sky, Nimanburr (Pteropus alecto- flying fox) can be seen flying in big groups as they leave the mangroves and head to the fruiting trees in the bush. In the old day, people waited with their long sticks made from the yirragulu (Acacia eriopoda- pindan wattle) tree and hit them down as they flew by. Once caught, the Nimanburr had their fur burnt off over the flame of a fire. Then they were cooked, buried in hot coals and ash. This method of cooking is called Jurra.
