Hi all! Just a quick question. On a recent field trip in WA, I noticed a yellow-rumped thornbill exhibiting very strange behaviour. When it flitted from branch to branch, it appeared to lose its balance and hang from the underside of each branch, rather than perching on top of the branch. It did this all the time I was watching it. Has anyone else observed this and does anyway know of an explanation for this? Perhaps its physiological eg. disease, parasites (Shane?) Regards, Rob. ****************************************** Robert Davis Honours Student School of Biological and Environmental Sciences Murdoch University Perth WA E-mail : PH: (09) 354 1719 ****************************************** |
