The Yellow Box are flowering heavily to the west of here too, which may
be why the ACT ones aren't attracting particularly dramatic bird
responses. I think it may be a genetically-programmed response along the
lines of "oops, things are getting grim, better put resources into a
decent seed set, before they're too depleted".
