Do you have a photo?
I have a small doubt about its identity too. A wild bird would not
normally react so freely towards people.
They occur naturally at Shark Bay which is not that far away from
Geraldton in the right weather conditions. Was the temperature
extremely hot? i.e. well over 40C?
I have been on 80 Mile Beach in the Kimberley in 45C++ temperature
and Singing Bushlarks have come very close under the shelter we have
constructed and under cars. But they move if you approach them. This
has also happened for Crimson Chat, Rainbow Bee-eater and
Australasian Pipit and maybe others I have forgotten.
