Dear John

Interesting observation.  I have not seen this behaviour, but I have seen
starlings feeding on the flowers of Grevillea robusta (Silky Oak) on a
number of occasions.  I believe they were feeding on nectar, rather than on
insects attracted to the flowers, after close observation.

Cheers

Ian
