Re:Crested Pigeon Flocks

     Hi everyone,
     As John Penhallurick indicated, there are now lots of Crested pigeons 
     in Canberra.
     
     The other day I saw a flock of around 30 feeding on the ground in the 
     same vicinity as some Eastern Rosellas and Red-Rumped parrots.  They 
     were feeding on the verge of Belconnen High School Oval in the suburb 
     of Hawker in Canberra.  Last week-end I saw a flock of 12 feeding on 
     the ground at The Pinnacle Nature Park at the back of Hawker.  In the 
     last couple of years the size of the flocks has been increasing 
     significantly.
