Subject: FW: [canberrabirds] Do Gang-gangs spend their whole lives eating?
Megan - Gang-gangs usually draw attention to themselves when they are commuting, or actively feeding. They are less conspicuous for the long periods they spend resting in trees, sometimes mutually preening, sometimes dozing, eyes wholly or partly closed, often giving a soft growling calling, itself quite noticeable when you know it. I suppose work has been done somewhere on their time ‘budget’(sorry) … [I have plucked the following at random. Counting that sort of thing seems to be a preoccupation of biologists these days.]

Since I have been looking out for Gang-gangs, I'm not sure I have noticed them do much else. Occasional sitting and digesting I guess.
I'm interested in others' observations.
