G'day all,
Regarding Rob's story about Brown-headed Honeyeaters using Koala fur, I have seen the same species collecting fur from a live Ring-tailed Possom,

And I've seen Brown-headed Honeyeaters collecting fur from the haunch of a grazing female Wallaroo; the honeyeater came back two or three times and each time kept pecking at the same spot until it had a beakful. The wallaroo was absolutely unconcerned, didn't even flinch.
