Little Wattlebird and Crescent Honeyeater, and colour-banded birds at the ANBG

[Carsten Kulheim <>]

Dear Con,

I can answer part of your question about the current research at the 
ANBG: Prof Andrew Cockburn from the School of Botany and Zoology at ANU 
is conducting the research on the superb fairy wrens. This study has 
been ongoing for many years and he is mainly interested in the sexual 
selection of female fairy wrens and the genetic composition of the 
populations in and around the ANBG. You can find more information on his 
home page:
