the Superb Parrots

["Geoffrey Dabb" <>]

Have done so.  Benj and I have repeatedly (see my 2 earlier messages) raised 
the food issue as the probable cause (given early-growth, early-drying 
conditions to the west and north) and perhaps some opportunities to report 
what the SPs here are eating, specifically, are being missed.
On a related matter I am getting reports that in the Griffith area Painted 
Honeyeater nestlings are dying in the nest, apparently because of the 
conditions, despite a good, but early, crop of mistletoe.
Anecdotally, some local nesters seem to be having a hard time of it, too.
