I recall being amazed at seeing Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes also feeding on spitfires, taking one after another after another from the top of one
of the small eucalypts in the carpark at Jerrabomberra wetlands. Not sure that I have heard or read of any other bird species than Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes or Gang-gangs that take these.
