================================================ 
Gillian, 
This info would be too late for your project but I
have just come across this ref.. 
  
EMU, The Journal of the Royal Australian
Ornithologists Union (now Birds Australia) 
Vol 87, Pt 2, June 1987, pp130/1 
Nick Reid "The Mistletoebird and Australian
Mistletoes: Co-evolution or coincidence ?" 
  
The paper in turn provides other refs
including 
Nick Reid "Pollination and seed dispersal of
mistletoes by birds in southern Aust" in 
The Dynamic partnership: Birds and Plants in
Southern Aust pp 64-84 
Government Printer Adelaide South
Australia 
  
Regards, Bob Forsyth, Mount Isa, NW Qld.
