User's notes
Just one brilliantly coloured male (hard to catch with my camera). Around 2012 before residents moved into the Fair, I observed flocks of over 20 red rumped parrots (males females juveniles) in this area. Nowadays people exercise their dogs in the nature reserve east of the Fair and allow their cats hunting. Also, I observed residents of the Fair feeding Common Mynar and Noisy Miner birds.
In a couple of years, the woodland birds will be gone.
