There has been a green Satin Bowerbird in my area behaving very much as if it is nesting, but I cannot locate the nest. Their elusive approach to their nest is quite effective. When we returned from Sydney on the weekend, a green SBB was busy in our garden
seemingly foraging. At the same time, I heard unfamiliar cheeping a bit like a sparrow.
I have never seen or heard a fledgling SBB and am wondering if that could be the sound. HANZAB is not particularly helpful on the subject.
Re Mynas: we have an active nest in our front yard from which several clutches have emerged in recent years - three clutches already this season. The adults seem to frequent the nest hole even when their young are still dependent. Frequently, we have seen
a feather from a SCC in the hole. But currently, the hole resembles a letterbox after the junk mail deliverer has passed by. My wife thinks that the Mynas are deliberately obscuring the hole between clutches to fend off squatters. I am inclined to agree.
