Hee! I remember getting a chocolate Bilby for easter when I was seven or something.
There's a movement in Australia to tell kids that it's the Easter Bilby that brings the chocolate eggs, not the Easter Bunny - on account of bunnies being a verminous pest, and Bilbies being a bunny-like native marsupial that are in danger of extinction unless people get more interested in them.
