To John Leonard and other fans of the Gang
Gang, I have regularly seen groups of immature male Gang Gangs in the Southern
Highlands.
Usually at this time of year, and usually
feeding on Hawthorns. I have written about them several times on my
Blog.
In NSW they are also listed as "vulnerable"
on the Threatened Species listings.
- "So, I was interested to
note that in the background information on the species, in the NSW Scientific
Committee's declaration (linked
here) it says: "In winter.....
the species may be observed in urban
areas including parks and gardens (Morcombe 1986). The species in general, and
crèches of young birds
in particular, undertake nomadic
as well as seasonal movements ...." (Clause
3).
So, there is my answer - I had found a
Kindergarten Class of young Gang-Gangs, learning the joys of eating Hawthorn
berries." (Blog posting 23 June 2006)
I hope that is of interest.
Cheers
