Hello All,

can you fill me in as I have just joined this mailing list. Is this some type of local ad hoc survey that you have been doing, or is it a bit of tongue in cheek comparison. Can't get into the attachment to follow any threads.

Thanks for any info.

OK, well there it is, not exactly my choice but the decision of the majority
is binding.  I'm forwarding it as an attachment in case anyone wants to
print it (this version is fairly low resolution though)

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.



Martin
