Only three breeding records in the COG database so more would be useful.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Pilotbird breeding records?
At New Chum Road mist netting which happened to coincide with the Blitz, we netted a pilotbird with a brood patch. There was some speculation about whether or not there were records of pilotbirds breeding in the ACT?
FYI, brood patches were also found on:
Shining Bronze-cuckoo
White-browed Scrubwren
Brown Thornbill
Striated Thornnbill
Eastern Spinebill
Yellow-faced Honeyeater
Crescent Honeyeater
White-napped Honeyeater
Golden Whistler
Eastern Yellow Robin
Bassian Thrush
