I don't know if anyone has already reported it, but I have
noticed in the last few weeks, while walking the 
dog, a flock of
about 12 male and female superb parrots. They are usually flying around
between 7am 
and 9am and then 5.30pm to about 7pm. Yesterday I
spotted 6 wonderful males in a tree on my morning 
walk. They tend to
lurk between the trees on the border of the enclosed hockey field and the
trees on the 
edge of the open ovals in Turon Place, Kaleen - the
entry to the sporting ovals. I know they are on the threatened 
species list but this flock looked extremely healthy.
