There are some Little Lorikeets roosting in a linear park near where I live
in Fitzroy North (Melbourne) at the moment. It's the first time I've
personally recorded that species in the inner Melbourne suburbs - any
further info on that from inner-city Melbournites?

Willie Wagtails in the same park harrass our very old dog very persistently.
Max is so deaf and half blind that she fails to notice, but the birds swoop
her to within millimetres until we get past where the supposed nest is.
