What birds feed on Grevillea robusta?

["michael norris" <>]

Ellen McCulloch, sadly missed, did a study of Silky Oaks with the Society 
for Growing Australian Plants.  Her results were published in the Bird 
Observer about 3 years ago.
My own records of birds definitely feeding on or around the flowers clude 
Rainbow and Purple-crowed Lorikeets, 4 species of honeyeater, House 
Sparrows, Starlings and Mynas.   I'm sure there were many more in Ellen's 
list.
I just checked my flying-fox records and was surprised I had no record of 
them in Grevillea robusta.   Perhaps that is because around here they have 
plentiful supplies of eucalypt flowers and Moreton Bay figs.
