I noticed a flock of around 30 Crested Pigeons on our local oval in
Ringwood North on Monday - biggest flock I've seen around the suburbs.

Melbourne
Good Morning birders,
A couple or three years ago, I saw my first pair of crested pigeons in
the local park in Bulleen where I live. These have been periodic
visitors since but never more than 2. Last week, there were at least 11
feeding on the soccer oval. This week I counted well over 50 birds on
the same oval. Next day on a nature strip in our street there were 5
feeding. Has anyone else noticed such a surge in numbers of these
invaders from the north? In this area at least, they seem to be
displacing the introduced turtle-necked dove which isn't a bad thing, I
guess.
Cheers,
Fiona
