I saw 6 yesterday, hanging around near the first tram stop up from
Flemington Rd. I also watched them taunting the Sparrowhawks into
chasing them this morning. They don't seem particularly afraid of the
Sparrowhawks, often approaching very close on a branch, but flee when
chased.
Perhaps it's simply a matter of trying to remove a predator that could
harm them if caught unawares, so they don't have to waste energy looking
out for them.
