Pied Currawong with prey Jerrabomberra Wetlands [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Martin Butterfield <>]

In the last few weeks I have watched a Pied Currawong use a crack in the bark of a Yellow Box to hold prey while it is butchered.  The only time I could identify the victim it was a Mountain Dragon.

I have seen a Pied C. also do this with a juvenile Starling, curiously also in a Casuarina.

On our last birding day, before we head back to Perth, saw this Pied Currawong jam the nestling in the fork of a branch, before tearing pieces of and feeding it’s young in the nest close to the Cygnus hide at Jerrabomberra Wetlands this morning.
