Hi David

I work in Edward st - and was 'disappointed' (to say the
least) that I didn't see the bird prior to its removal. As to the
family in the Botanic Gardens - I certainly have never heard
mention of the possibility, and, while not denying it might
happen, am very dubious about ANYTHING written in the Courier
mail..... with no competition here they can virtually say
whatever they like and get away with it .....


However, if it proves true I'd be happy to know about it!!

Cheers

Colin
