Lurking within the "Social Organisation" element of the HANZAB reference to
this species is a comment about home range "40-80Ha, perhaps as small as
20Ha".
We have a pair which breed and roost in our garden (rural residential area
outside Queanbeyan) and I have found other birds roosting about 800m from
the roost site, and suspect our lot have turned up on another property at
least 300m from the nest tree. If I assume a 500m radius for their
territory the answer is very close to 80Ha.
