Walking in Centennial Park yesterday I was twice dive bombed and contact
made, from a very protective noisy miner.  Have they learned to do this from
magpies?


Lorna,

I experienced this recently for the first time. One Yellow-throated
Miner among a group bombs the inmates at the Copi Hollow Caravan Park
just out of Menindee, 110km E of Broken Hill, NSW. I saw the bird do
it many times during our three day stay. Goodness knows how it
learned to do it.

Cheers,

Jill
