I am not sure in general but some of the birds in the ACT have a mite infestation on their feet which tends to be differently developed in different birds. There was one bird that used to visit one of the dams in Campbell Park regularly that could be identified by the distribution of the deformities on its feet. These might have hurt because the bird was in the habit of lifting one its legs and tucking it under the feathers.

regards

Pied currawongs or a Pied currawong visit one of our birdbaths one at a time, i.e. there is not a group hanging around, very often. Is there any way to easily distinguish Pied currawong individuals from each other?

Thanks

Rick
