It is interesting that you mention Cockies causing the Superbs to move on.  Coincidentally my local contact has observed the same at the Hoskinstown Superb outpost.  

Looking at a graph of values of A - restricted to sites in the GBS for 15 years or more (which removes inter alia all rural sites) - it seems as though the growth in abundance of Cockies has ceased in the last few years.  Possibly this will allow the Superbs to build up in numbers?

Note that this is "speculation-to-promote(or provoke)-questioning" and not a prediction!

2 to 6 Superb Parrots have visited Wangara St Aranda over the last 3 mornings where they fed on a suspected Acacia fimbriata last season but the bush had about 6 to 8 Sulphur Crested Cockatoos feeding in it each time and they moved on.  I visited the park west of Wybalena Grove several times over the last week and there were some  Superb Parrots in the eucalypts there each time.
