G'day all
just a small point - one of the original postings on this subject [I've since
deleted it and am not sure who was the author] stated that the "green" berries
are toxic/cause sterility or whatever. Surely this could be the key - unripe
fruits and berries may contain nasty chemical compounds but these are
lost/modified as the fruit ripens.

Do any of our coastal NSW friends know whether the pigeons eat only ripe fruits
of Camphor Laurel or privets?

Anyway, its home time in dark and stormy Melbourne
