Hopefully they will stay and breed. They moved up there during there during the
heat of Summer. If it gets to cold and windy they can move to the lower forest
in the same area. It gets very cold with snow and -10 to -15 wind chills at the
level they are. They are on the Northern side so should have some protection
from the southerlies come off the snowy mountains. The area is a mixture of
manmade cypress forests and natural vegetation. It is a National park and the
only worry are a few irresponsible, undesirable trail bike riders on the forest
trails.

Terry,
It will be interesting to see if they breed. Wonder if they or their
offspring will be regarded as a genuine tick? Save a few dollars on a
trip to Tassie.
Cheers,

The mystery of the Yellow Wattlebirds has been solved. A guy
apparently smuggled
two pair back from Tasmania to breed only to let the escape. They are
now living
happily at about the 1200-1250 Metre level of the Northern side of Mt
Canobolas.
WHEEEW!!!!!! I wasn't seeing things.
