I saw one few years ago near Melbourne with friends at the nature park and it's unblinking state at me was very, very unsettling. I did not f*ck around with it even though friends were encouraging me to peg it. That hook on the leg is deadly looking...

Can you define "peg" in this circumstance ? Because if your friends wanted you to have sex with the male bird, these people are not your friends.

From UrbanDictionary:

> Australian slang, meaning to throw an object very hard and fast. Generally an object small enough to fit in one hand.

[jon-wood]

That makes much more sense, in the UK “peg it” means running away, which seemed like entirely rationale advice.

Sorry to say, but your friends sound like nuffies.
