They've been around for several years, so they are surviving on something. Probably lerps and nectar available on something somewhere in the area. I haven't actually observed them feeding, however they are frequently seen in the eucalypts around the Hawker shops.

I reckon they are most likely escapees that have now bred somewhere in the area.
