The pied currawong was munching a lump of homemade bread on our lawn - when a cheeky and brave little myna bird shot up and chased it away to steal the food! You would not expect a smaller bird to approach such a 'giant'.
The myna birds were hanging out on our Hills Hoist. 8 of them sat on it, letting the rain fall down around them, just sitting, dreaming… every so often, one or two might hop to another prong or depart to the poinsettia tree instead, to return later… They were there for at least a half hour.
The red wattlebird has been in the poinsettia as much as the currawongs have the privet lately. It likes to suck nectar from the flowers. I have discovered tha the currawongs like the berries of the privet - I had been wondering WHICH part of the tree it was they were attracted to munching, for a time.
