Thanks for advice, Anthony & Philip. I put the
finer (5 cm) wire netting over the area, and the parents have been quite
unpeturbed. A pair of wattlebirds have been chasing the currawong from tree to
tree, so it might have ceased being interested for the time being. .

Re some earlier postings: we have six king parrots
enjoying winter honeysuckle buds & flowers at the moment. A pair of gang
gangs passed though this morning - seems they have not been as abundant as
usual.
I have not been in my office a lot over recent
weeks, but last sighting of pardalotes interacting with 'rival' in my window was
in late july - so they were at it for more than six months (both male &
female, female more aggressive).
