Hi All,

I just returned from Gluepot with a few good sightings (Pied Honeyeater, Black-eared Cuckoo, Splendid Fairy Wren in breeding plumage).

One example of bird behaviour I witnessed which I found very interesting was an adult Pallid Cuckoo feeding a squawking juvenile Pallid Cuckoo. The juvenile was not in a nest and was flying to the adult on command when it had caught its latest feed.

As they are parasitic, I found this behaviour very interesting. Has anyone else witnessed similar?

Cheers,

Andrew.
