An interesting idea, Con. I didn’t know they did that. I’ll consult HANZAB. I‘ll also explore the area that I saw the bird fly to.

A Red-browed Finch turned up in a large lerp-guzzling MFF at my home this morning (lots of Tasmanian Silvereyes amongst them). But it was carrying a long grass stalk. Why at this stage of the season, I wonder? And how should I record it, as NB? It is more in the nature of parrot-like IH behaviour.
