On the subject of current comment about possible sightings of
Italian House Sparrows in Canberra, I recall an item that appeared in
Canberra Bird Notes, maybe ten or so years back (I no longer have my
earlier CBNs), that described a bird, not unlike an Italian House
Sparrow, on the ANU campus. Stretching the memory a bit more, I think it
was in the vicinity of the Union Bar area. Maybe it was picking up pizza
crumbs(!)
Anyhow, if anyone wants to follow this up, they can contact me because
I recall the author's name.
John Layton.
