Over the years there have been a few reports here of PBQ turning up in suburban/urban situations, e.g.: http://bioacoustics.cse.unsw.edu.au/birding-aus/2000-01/msg00433.html http://bioacoustics.cse.unsw.edu.au/birding-aus/2006-10/msg00542.html It'd be interesting to know if its come from an aviary, local bushland or its long-distance movement.
