Hi all,
Whilst walking through the Monash University grounds the other day I 
noticed a group of 10 Little Ravens feeding from the flowers of a Silky 
Oak (Grevillea robusta) and a couple more again the following day.  They 
were clearly nectar-feeding.  Has anyone got their copy of HANZAB handy? 
Has this kind of feeding behaviour been noticed before, particularly for 
Corvids?  They're certainly resourceful birds and seemed to be enjoying 
their sweet meal!
Cheers,
Prue Simmons
