A leisurely stroll around the streets of Duffy, led me to remark to myself on the large numbers of ‘green’ Bowerbirds distributed around the suburb. Not counted but seen flying vigorously about and heard vocalising variably. Estimate 40 or more – also the odd Male. The bushy habitat of many gardens is ideal for these Bowerbirds. I also have a very pleasant habit of sitting outside in my GBS in the late afternoon to watch the birds coming out of Duffy and flying overhead to roost in Narrabundah Hill and some to roost nearby within the suburb. Yesterday I counted flying over 16 Bowerbirds, 18 King Parrots, 24 Red-rumped Parrots (local roost), 8 Crimson Rosellas, 9 Red Wattlebirds (very much an underestimate) 2 rare Rainbow Lorikeet and sundry other of the usuals.
