There are up to about a dozen Orange Chats come into my yard at irregular times.
I have only seen them twice in the last fortnight. I see them more often in
Spring time as they love the ripe fruit and seeds from the Strawberry Tree.
(Strawberry like fruit) I have tried to find their home base with no success so
far. There seems to be about 10 dusky females to 2 of the brighter males. I see
the males a lot less and have only seen the two males together only twice.

Terry,
Please tell us about the Orange Chats in Orange!
Cheers

With the usual sparrows, blackbirds (not as many around this summer) and
starlings we have irregular visitations of Silvereyes, Orange Chats and about
four Redbrowed Finches. The last three not being regular visitors do not get to
close. The dogs and cats still do not make any attempt at chase or capture.

Hello Terry,
How many Silvereyes, Thornbills or Fairy Wrens come near your pets?
