strange--figs

[Elizabeth Compston <>]

We have a large fig tree in our garden.  About 10 days ago the figs  
began to ripen.  In came a few Indian mynas and starlings, also the  
usual currawongs, wattle birds and silver eyes.  We were not pleased  
but we think that, as the figs ripen there are enough for us and the  
birds.  But, although there are more figs ripening each day, the  
birds have gone.  Why? and where?  perhaps the currawongs have gone  
to near Lindell's place to harass the young koel.  What a good photo  
she took of that young bird.
