The Melbourne Branch of BOCA does collect reports of certain "Interesting
Sightings" - amongst the species are Currawongs and Song Thrushes. But it is
certainly not as organised as a true Garden Bird Survey.

Last time I visited Melbourne (end of January 2007), I stayed with my
brother on Warrigal Road, Surrey Hills. We were in the backyard when I
observed a Grey Currawong fly in and pluck a mini tomato of the bush and fly
off with it. Rather odd I thought.
As for this type of discussion about abundance and distribution of these
birds and Song Thrushes and whatever else, I know I have said it before but
wouldn't it be great if Melbourne had a Garden Bird Survey going, like we
have had in Canberra since 1981, so that discussions like this were based on
some consistent data.
