Not sure if this is relevant, but I've seen the same behaviour a couple of times between Sulphur-crested Cockatoos in their roost in Hawker over the last few months. Like Geoffrey's observation, it was always around dusk. Knowing nothing about courtship feeding, I had assumed that this was parents continuing to feed particularly dependent young. John Brannan Geoffrey Dabb wrote: In a street tree at dusk there was repeated feeding between an apparent pair, both making the insistent begging call. Surprisingly HANZAB says of G-g courtship feeding ‘not recorded in the wild’. ******************************************************************************************************* This is the email announcement and discussion list of the Canberra Ornithologists Group.
