Two chicks raised, but sadly, before they could fly they disappeared so I think a possum or sugar glider picked them off.

Awww... how very cute. I've never seen dependent butcherbird young before. Shame about the outcome, but maybe they'll have more success next time

Thanks Ryu, yeah, very cute, I was very disappointed when they disappeared. Will be interesting to see if the adults use the same nesting site this year or whether they go somewhere else...
