Apostlebirds in SA - an update

["Trevor Hampel" <>]

I recently posted a comment about Apostlebirds in South Australia.
This week we had a visit from my sister-in-law. She works in the
Peterborough hospital in the mid north of SA. She says that the
Apostlebirds are something of a pest in the grounds of the hospital. It
seems that they try to enter the rooms of the patients (I think the rooms
open on to a verandah if my memory is correct). I would not be surprised if
they have been fed by patients over the years and now try to muscle in on a
free feed whenever they can.
