Many thanks John, it has been an incredibly prolonged Koel fledgling season
compared with those recently, and yours is No 223 (the minimum).  This week
I've had 4 in or within a few 100 metres of my GBS site, one of which like
yours is a relatively recent fledgling with quite a short tail and still not
moving far.  Quite a few others still at this stage have also recently been
reported.  Jack Holland

Another dependent bird in my garden in Florey this morning, being fed by Red
Wattlebirds. It was still completely dependent, making no effort to feed
itself, and had quite a short tail. When a curious currawong approached, it
went quiet and literally pulled its head in, turning into large ball plus
tail.
