I live on a road lined with Silky Oaks, and have
one in the garden, they are largely ignored by nectar feeding birds. I have seen
the odd Rainbow or Musk Lorikeet having a feed, and about fifteen years
ago young starlings in flocks fed on the nectar. It seems to me that the
nectar is too thick and glutinous to be attractive to the usual run of
honeyeaters we have here, they prefer the thinner variety and smaller quantities
available in the Eucs, Correas, and other types of Proteacea plants in the
garden. Duncan Fraser, Maffra Vic.
