Nah! It's wild native bird that just isn't afraid of anything :-) I've seen them fight off crows, magpies and kookaburras.
What it was doing was following behind my old man, as he was walking on the lawn, eating all the flying insects that Dad stirred up. When Dad stopped and sat down this little guy would chirp angrily at him. When that didn't work, it jumped all over Dad until he got up and continued stirring. This carried on for about an hour or so. At one stage I had it perched on my left hand while I photographed with the right. It still visits the yard daily.
