Do the other species also practice mass sunbakes? I have seen
individuals in various species around the world, but cannot recall
ever seeing this groupie effect.


David,
It also happens with the Choughs at the ANBG, as I have observed it a number of times (although not THAT many together). I've seen a half dozen birds grouped together like that, sunning themselves, so it certainly wasn't just a hangover from the festive season!! <grin>
Merry Bah Humbug everyone. I hope it is a great silly season and a fantastic New Year. 

Cheers.
