A few weeks ago I noticed that buds on my very best camellia were falling to 
the ground.  Then I saw a pair of crimson rosellas in the tree, just pecking 
the buds and dropping them to the ground.  Has anyone else had this problem?  
They only did it on one tree; and it is a tree.  What satisfaction are they 
getting from the buds?  How can I stop it happening next year?  They have never 
done it before
