What birds feed on Grevillea robusta?

G'day Anthea & other interested birders

There used to be a huge Grevillea robusta in Cooranbong (Inland from  
Lake Macquarie NSW) when I was studying there back in the 1960's and  
each year it would fill with Noisy Friarbirds that were refilling  
their fuel tanks during migration.  They pretty well kept any other  
birds away.
