Greetings all,
I'm currently in Darwin pursuing my 12 month bird photography challenge
(currently 460 species with 3 months to go). I was speaking to an American
couple travelling up from the south who had an interesting encounter. They
were camped around Arkaroola during early May and had their solar panels set
up. Suddenly a flock of budgerigars landed on the panels, staying for about
10 minutes. Two or three birds landed on one gentleman's arm before, in his
opinion, "they realised their mistake and took of". He believed that they
had mistaken the panels for pools of water. I'd not heard of this before.
Has anyone else witnessed anything like this? If it happens often then it
might be time to change my power source and kill two birds with the same
stone! (pun intended).
Regards,
Gary Oliver
