David, is the ground where they're feeding under eucalypt trees? If
it is, one possibility is that they could be eating fallen lerps.
I've seen, especially in the mallee areas, foliage so covered in
lerps that it fell to the ground like white confetti where it was
taken advantage of by large numbers of honeyeaters and lorikeets.
Cheers,
Carol

I have inspected the ground cover where they are feeding and there doesn't
seem to be any obvious food source; just the usual mix of weeds, none of
which are in seed or flower.
Does anyone have any ideas about what it is they are after on the ground?
