There has been a lot of raven and currawong activity around our place in Fraser over the past few weeks, although no obvious signs of nesting or of young. This morning I found a dead fully feathered young bronzewing wedged by the neck in a fork of a calistemon bush only a few centimetres above the ground. I think it is unlikely it got there by itself and I assume it was too big to be put there by a butcherbird, so I am thinking the job may have been done by a raven or a currawong. There were no signs of injury, other than where ants had got to work on the neck and head. Are corvids known for caching food? |
