In my experience they've done quite well in inner western Sydney as well.
Their familiar 'bark' around nesting time each year being heard around most
streets.

Hi all,
An interesting observation this morning - testimony to how successfully
Red
Wattlebird has adapted to urbanisation.... I was just stranded in heavy
traffic on busy Dandenong Road (4 lanes) in St Kilda East (Melbourne) and
happened to look up and notice a pair of Red Wattlebirds adding the
finishing touches to a nest in a large Liquid Amber (devoid of leaves). It
was 5 degrees, middle of winter...
A strange sight to see this lone bundle of twigs in the middle of a large
bare tree....
As a Melbournite its obvious how common Red Wattlebird is in this city -
but
they have probably even surpassed introduced pests like Indian Mynah and
House Sparrow in the agressive adaptation stakes!
Cheers,
Greg
