There were Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos calling at the bottom end of Maribyrnong Avenue (near Supabarn) in Kaleen this morning. They were too far away to tell the number. It is interesting that in the new suburb of Lawson the old stand of Pinus radiata are being removed. I have never noted Y-t BC’s in these trees before so don’t know if this will have any impact on them. Personally I am glad to see the pines go and can only hope that the  Government uses some brains and replaces them with Eucalypts and other native species, but I very much doubt that they will. I sometimes wonder just how much notice they take of their own Threatened Species legislation.

 

Also for those interested there are about 4 copies of Penny Olsen’s book on the Paradise Parrot on sale for $14:95 at the bookstore in Garema Place in the city. I bought a copy on Thursday.

 

Cheers,

Mark

Y’day morning, 1/5,  c. 7.30 a.m. there was a horde of Yelow-tailed black cockatoos bleating high in the branches or our (5) v old eucs (Blakelei, sp?).

[Unfortunately our back neighbour has changed and the new people have a tabby that’s driven out our beloved magpie family, + the supported since chickhood grey butcherbird + all the v small birds out of our long-standing haven- garden:L consequently lerp infestation is worst for a long time.

There are some at the ANBG right now, next to the cafe – one of them has not stopped pleading for food for the last half hour

There have been 10-16 at the ANBG for the past several weeks each time I've visited. At least half of them have been begging young.

 

Cheers

I noted 3 beautiful yellow tail black cockatoos flying over the paddock near my place in North Watson this morning heading straight for our mountain. So graceful and stunning. They are my #1 favourite bird!!!!!!!!!

 

Then I saw them again a little later on lapping around the same area...

 

Very happy start to the day!!!

 

2 gang gangs in the lower part of Mt Majura on Wed morning as well.
