Symbiosis may be too strong a word, but whenever I see Eastern Spinebills in my neighbourhood they're always hanging around with and following a flock of smaller birds, usually Silvereyes or Superb Fairy-wrens.
Anyone else noticed this?
At the ANBG the Spinebills are usually content to forage solo, but here they seem to prefer the company of other species.
Of course, it's entirely possible I'm only noticing the visiting Spinebills that are in the company of large noisy flocks and am missing the individuals who silently and quickly move through the garden.
