We're at Sinnamon Park in Brisbane's West and over
the past 8 years, large tracts of remnant bushland have been cleared for housing
development around us. We have noticed a few things in relation to TC behaviour
over that time:
- nest sites have become more obvious and less out
of the way by usage of trees in gardens etc
- TC's are observed daily in the vicinity of our
garden and surrounding neighbours doing checks of garden shrubs & trees, one
assumes checking for nests. Willie Wagtails constantly add their two-bits
worth during this behaviour. TC's twice destroyed SB Fairy Wren nests in our
garden before egg laying had commenced.
- I have seen them take young from Noisy Miner
nests and woke one morning with 3 juvenile TC's plucking a newly killed Spotted
Turtle Dove (fully-fledged juvenile, well out of the nest)
- Young TC's have taken a liking to Lorikeet
Mix
