Hi Trevor,
I have no specific knowledge of captive Yellow Honeyeaters in southern
Queensland but I was astonished (shocked) to learn that a large variety of
'soft bills' are kept in aviaries throughout Australia. A Great Bowerbird
at Iluka, NSW some years ago was, presumably, an aviary escapee.
Regards
Greg

G'day,
I'm making this posting (request) in the capacity of chairman of the
Bribie Island Rarities Committee and author of the Annotated Checklist
of the Birds of Bribie Island. That all sounds rather grand but taking
on these tasks was borne from a passion for the birds of Bribie Island
and a desire to compile a checklist of accuracy and integrity. And it
has been great fun as well!
