Seen the occasional one in the Tidbinbilla sanctuary in the last few months, so maybe.

Go to NZ where they are well established in undisturbed native forest.

My observation is that Blackbirds in the ACT are mainly found along rivers and in very mature and well-watered suburbs, not to any extent in wet sclerophyll forests.
Do others agree with this, and if so what is the barrier to their entering wet forests here as they do in other parts of se Australia?
