FW: Satin Bowerbird feeding juvenile in O'Connor

["Ian Baird" <>]

An adult female Satin Bowerbird was observed feeding a juvenile bird twice which remained stationary deep in the one place in deep cover in my native garden at 15 Fairfax Street O’Connor for about 45 minutes, Sunday evening 3^rd January 2013. The juvenile was heard  to occasionally produce brief snatches approximating  the ‘churring’ call which is well known and  characteristic of the species.

This is the first time I have recorded this species as a living bird at my home address. I found a dead juvenile in my garden in June last year (reported online to the Atlas of Living Resources along with digital image).

A digital image of the juvenile bird is attached. Time and date: 15:56, 3/2/2013
