Hello David,

Yes. Actually I would say normally that is the female soliciting
display.

I noticed a Currawong behaving oddly this afternoon.  It was sitting 
towards the top of a tree, in a semi crouching position, head up with 
beak open, waggling its tail up and down.  It did this for perhaps half 
a minute, then flew off, followed by a second Currawong.

Is this courting behaviour?
