The last few years I've noticed Silvereyes are attracted to honey locusts planted around a nearby apartment block around autumn.
I can understand why the King Parrots are attracted to it for the seed pods but the pods are three times the length of a Silvereye and there's no way they can tackle the fruit!
Maybe they're eating insects that are attracted to the ripe seed pods?
Also, had a squadron of noisy miners just move through the street, grh. Hope they stay away.
Gang-gangs still in the area, three were circling around the suburb yesterday (Macquarie) and Rainbow Lorikeets who, like the Australian Ravens, gravitate towards a nearby heritage listed 30-metre Yellow Box.
Superb Fairy Wren perched on my bird bath (which I empty and clean every few days) seconds before diving in for a splash: https://www.flickr.com/photos/purecaffeine/26109793240/
