We
have not checked our email for a few days and have just seen the discussion
about overwintering Superb Parrots. We live right near the flowering
Ironbarks on the bike path reserve at Lyttleton, Cook and can say that Superb
Parrots have been around all winter, though in small numbers. During the
summer they are present in larger numbers and we see and hear them every
day. One wonderful summer we counted 98 of them on the Wybalena Grove
oval.

Chris,
I went looking for Superb parrots at the AIS in
the main carpark about 1.30pm today 14 Aug. where I had seen 4 a couple
days ago. 4 Superbs arrived about 1.45pm and roosted in a E polyanthemos
tree at 35, 14' 47.2" S 149, 05' 57.7" E. They just sat quietly,
one with bill tucked under it's wing, till 2.50pm when they flew off heading
east towards the Mal Maninga Grandstand/Track and Field area. I listened
in the area for a while without going into the Track and Field area but
could not locate them.
