This afternoon I saw a Pied Currawong picking up soil and placing it in
its feathers. At the location, there were little 'quarries', almost very
small caves, in the bare slope, including one from which the PC was
picking up soil. There were also spots of bird lime around about,
indicating that this was perhaps not a random event but that birds were
selecting this soil deliberately.
