There have been a couple of reports of Superb Fruit-Doves in Sydney recently.
An injured bird has been taken into care via Sydney Wildlife Rescue and I then
saw a Birdline NSW report today of one in Edgecliff in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.
I wasn't sure whether there was any relationship between these and contacted
the wildlife carer to check (I am also a carer with Sydney Wildlife Rescue).
The one in care was picked up in Allambie Heights in Sydney's Northern Beaches
close to 2 months ago.The carer is really keen to find out exactly which
berries should be sourced to feed it whilst it recovers.
The info on the net is really unreliable. If any Birding Aus member has any
information on the types of trees they are likely to feed on in NSW, it would
be appreciated.
The carer is also looking for a suitable release site within the Sydney region
and would welcome any information of nearby populations.
Hopefully Birding-Aus's assembled wisdom will assist in this regard.
Regards
Carol.
