Well of course I know all that. I didn't even bother to do the maths, as I was just telling a story. I was referring to the group of 45 Mynas in the area but then guessing there are 1000 times that many in Canberra, also allowing for the possibility that I might be one or two orders of magnitude out. I was also just being facetious, I don't always need to be the professional ornithologist or statistician. The last sentence of Geoffrey refers to the aspects called the functional response and the numerical response (but that is going back to my 3rd year uni zoology of 1977).
