Rosella in strife on Callum Brae.

Looks like bird netting to me too, but CRs do chew their way into the bags of stock feed etc at Hall Produce.

Another CR with similar neckwear has been visiting our garden in Florey for several months now, not apparently in any strife due to the netting (like Martin, I suspect it's bird netting). That said, it clearly poses a potential threat if it gets caught on something.

Saw this crimson rosella on Callum Brae this morning.  The image below is a bit low res, but on a higher res image you can see that the stuff he is wearing is a kind of interlocking thread, similar to the kind of stitching that was (and may still be) used on bags of stock feed.

Question is, what can be done, if anything?  If anyone believes they can trap and help the bird, I can take them to where I saw it.  It was one of a pair examining a nesting hollow, but whether it really is their nest or not, I do not know.
