While searching for a particular plant in a certain
area on Black Mt a few years ago there was a Grey Currawong fissicking in the
litter nearby. After a while it found a centipede and flew off with it towards
Caswell Dr. A minute later it was back and resumed fossicking, found another
centipede and flew off in the same direction. This happened a third time. When I
had finished my search I kept a lookout for the GC On my way out and soon saw a
GC arrive at two fledgelings and stuffed a centipege down one of their gullets.
Centipedes are reputed to inflict excruciating
bites in humans. GCs must be immune to their bites.
