At the moment here at Palmwoods, Sunshine coast
hinterland we are being overwhelmed with the above species of birds. Every
morning during the last week between about 7 and 9am, large flocks of Topknot
Pigeons (60+), Figbirds (100+) and Pied Currawongs (60+) have been flying around
my home area. The Currawongs and Figbirds stay around all day while the
Topknots come and go. While the Figbirds appear to be eating the camphor
laurel berries, the Currawongs and Topknots just land in the trees nearby before
taking off again after a few minutes in one big woosh. The noise is
overwhelming.
But I know we are lucky to liv e in an area with so
many birds. W\e do have other wonderful species too!
