Subject: Unusual bird sighting
Hi Russell. I could not recall how to report unusual bird sightings
via Birding-Aus, so hope you will find this of interest.
Today, 31/12/2006, my wife and I found a dead male (from the
brightness of its plumage) rose-crowned fruit-dove in our garden at
Bracken Ridge, 4017, a northern suburb of Brisbane. We have never
seen one in our garden in 24 years. There is no suitable habitat in
the area, other than a single tall lilly-pilly nearby. Apart from
missing a few breast feathers, this beautiful creature appears
intact, certainly not torn apart by a cat or raptor.
Thanks, Ken & Margaret Pettit
