Next doors’ tree now has fruit ripe enough to attract parrots and a cockatoos. Yesterday evening, in the space of 45 minutes or so, 4 spp. were observed feeding in the one tree: Gang-gangs (3), King-parrots (4); Crimson Rosellas (5+) and
Sulphur-crested Cockatoos (2) – although the latter did not start feeding until the Gang-gangs had left. There were at least 5 Gang-gangs in total, including 2 immatures. The immatures were apparently roosting nearby in eucalypt trees waiting to be fed by
the adults. One of the pair was seen ‘begging for food from an adult female perched alongside- although I can’t be sure that actual food was transferred!
