Hi - interested in both the lack of silvereyes and their lack of
interaction with the grapes. In our Kambah house, which I visited at the
end of February, we had at least a dozen and often more in and around
our waterfall for long periods of time each day, underneath the 'mock'
rainforest which gives them plenty of protection.
And as far as I could see no damage to the grapes which were still
edible and hadn't had any net protection at all, in fact the only grape
predators we've ever noticed are currawongs which strip the red grapes
before they're ripe enough for us to eat, but don't seem to go after the
white ones growing alongside.
I'd much rather they ate the grapes than baby silvereyes!
cheers, Wendy
