I have never heard of Wekas being seen in Australia. > Re Wekas - they used to be present on Macquarie Island , introduced by sealers as food supply. I believe they have now been removed on environmental grounds. Are there any truly feral Greylags in Australia? I thought domestic park birds didn't get counted even if living independently.
