I have heard my second juvenile Koel for this season just now. The first on 2 Mar. This season there has been a lot of Koel activity & four Wattle bird nests. Three of these nests have each fledged two young, the fourth was abandonded. We have had a lot of Wattle birds, Noisy Friar birds, Noisy Miners with juveniles feeding on the lerp infested Eucs in front of my place. I believe I can report two juvenile Koels. The one I'm hearing & seeing now is being fed. The one on the 2nd sounds different & was not being fed

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.
