A query please- whilst researching the Acanthizids (gerygones,
thornbills, whitefaces, Pilotbird, Origma, Heathwrens, Fieldwrens
etc) I have been struck by the lack of references to any of them
drinking ( and please no jokes about having to reach 18 years, some
thornbills nearly do!). I can only find a ref to White-browed
Scrubwrens drinking from water troughs, and that is about it.
Do i have a blind spot and perhaps I'm overlooking things?
When I think about it I can't recall ever seeing any of the family
drinking, maybe they get enough moisture from their diet?
Any responses appreciated, and i must thank those who replied to me
about an earlier RFI about bristlebirds, very helpful.
You can reply to me direct, or i will see any responses when i look
at the archive.
Thanks in anticipation.
Phil Gregory
