Hi,

An aboriginal friend of mine in Karratha recently found 2 juvenile birds (about 10cm in length) in a Bustards stomach a week ago. He also reported
that he once found a 40-50cm goanna in a Bustards stomach before too.

Has anyone else heard of these dietary components in Australian Bustards
before?

I would be interested to hear any similar reports.

Kind regards,

Nathan Waugh
