Kangaroos in Kelowna were serenaded by the Austria Vancouver Club Melody Choir, and the results were hilarious.

The Austrian choir was in town to sing with the Kelowna Harmonie Choir for an Oktoberfest celebration.

As a warm up before the concert, the choir thought that it would be a good idea to test out their songs in front of a very tough– and fuzzy– crowd.

Part way through the performance at Kelowna Kangaroo Creek, the turkeys came up and started gobbling loudly, bothering the target audience, the kangaroos.

“Then, the kangaroos all stood up, looked around and hopped away rather perturbed,” said Cora Schupp with the Austria Vancouver Club Melody Choir.

After practising in front of such a tough crowd, the choir’s Oktoberfest performance went smoothly and without any gobbling.
