These are reported periodically in North Canberra and are
associated with a project that must have been concluded, gee, maybe 10 years
ago. Michael Lenz knows the details, I think. Next, someone asks why the tags
weren’t removed at the end of the project.

Does anyone in COG know about these tags (see below)? - this query came to the
COG office email.

Dear COG Team,
I have a question about some birds I saw this morning. I was riding my bike
along Northbourne Ave today and spotted two galahs at the side of the road. I
thougt I saw some numbers on the side of their wings and indeed when I stopped
and went back, I saw that both birds had round tags wired to both of their
wings. They were round, approx 2-3cm diameter and had letters on them: BX and
TO. I assume they are part of some tracking survey. What's the story there and
is it helpful to report these sightings to you?
