I happened to be in Woden today and at about 10.50
am was walking along Callam Street (eastern side of town centre). Surprised to
see a tight flock of five Cockatiels flying together, over Callam Street, sort
of towards Woden Cemetery. It was a quick but unmistakable viewing and I did
also hear 2 calls (above traffic noise). They were all wild type grey colouring,
a mix of males & females but I didn't have enough time to count how
many of each.
In about 24 years here that is I think only the
second time I've seen a flock of (almost certainly wild) Cockatiels within
Canberra.
