The time has come to reveal all! Following my
last exhortation I received a further submission which successfully dynamited
the logjammed pack of 7. The top 5 are thus:
Gang-gang clearly in 1st place (with 8 votes from
12 submissions)
Crimson Rosella (7)
Galah (5)
Yellow-faced honeyeater (4) and
Sulphur crested cockatoo (4)
In total 22 species were proposed. Of those
not successful, 6 scored 3 nods, 3 got 2 and 8 just snuck in with 1 vote.
Common myna was very unlucky (about time the rat
with wings had some bad luck) since while it was nominated by Mark Clayton he
also said that if we stuck with native Canberra birds (I'm paraphrasing a
bit there, because I have lost Mark's actual message) ) he'd replace it with an
alternate. I used executive privilege to make that
substitution.
Most submitters scored 2 or 3 birds. The best
effort was by Wendy Whitham with a big 4!
Well done all.
