User's notes

Although feeding itself on plums, also observed it being fed by a Red Wattlebird. Three Wattlebirds present. A few hours later confirmed a second Koel chick also being fed by a Wattlebird. Both Koels and four Wattlebirds then flew into the same yard across the road (the house with the plum tree). Koels have been present here for some years but this is my first confirmation of breeding.
