According to the local news in Canberra, the birds that were buried
were Pied Currawongs and were suspected of being poisoned by Bogong
Moths killed by insecticide sprayed on New Parliament House to keep
them out.

The other bird was probably a European Goldfinch, and unrelated to
the poisoning incident.
