Hi all,

I was telling a friend about my recent quest to identify a bird call which
turned out to be that of a Red Wattlebird. When I described the bird, she
said that one such bird visited her family in their garden some time ago.
Apparently it flew in and landed on her shoulder. It also went to the
shoulder of her son (see attached photos).

Is this common behaviour for Wattlebirds or could this have been a
domesticated bird?

Graham
