User's notes

I was putting my bike away after my ride home from work when I heard some Gang-gangs fly into a tree in our yard. Somewhat strangely, the female started coming down a branch towards the shed door where I was standing. I thought she was heading for some blooms at the end of the branch but she kept coming down closer. I was not sure what she was doing but I filled up a small tub with bird seed and held it out. She then flew to the top of the open shed door beside me and walked along it towards my position. I held up the tub and she started eating from it. The male also flew to the top of the shed door to get some food. I held up the tub for a little while but thought I had better go in the house as the sun was starting to set. I then put the seed in a bowl and the Gang-gangs landed straight onto the table while I was still standing beside it. These were completely wild birds, I have never fed them before.
