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

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
