No, this is not about  the Goods & Services Tax, rather the Grey
Shrike-Thrush. We put a small amount (half a cup a day) of mixed seed
out to attract birds to our yard (and no, I don't want to debate the
rights and wrongs of this). Usually, this is eaten by Galahs and Crested
Pigeons, but lately a Grey Shrike-Thrush has been picking up sunflower
seeds, carrying them to a nearby tree, and hammering them on an exposed
root to break them open before swallowing the kernel and going back for
another one. Is this normal behaviour for this species?
