Bron's note on Rosella chick progress
contains the interesting observation
"The birds always seemed the most wary of the nine parrot species we've seen
here"
It is worth being reminded of the
wealth of parrots you have around and about in Canberra and district.
Enjoy them all, won't you?
I get Crimsons, King Parrots and YT Black
Cockies in my place at Robertson. I once saw a group of Musk Lorikeets fly
over.
Elsewhere in the village, White Cockies, and
Galahs follow the railway line, and seldom spread out further into the
rainforest country. Eastern Rosellas (a few only) occur in one part of the
village, only where Eucalypts are found. Gang-Gangs occur in the Sandstone
country below us. Little Corellas still have not invaded us from
Bowral.
Still, on a strict "house record" I score
only 3 regulars and 1 rare fly-over.
Cheers
