User's notes

These two butcherbirds appeared in my garden last week, and flew into the tree next to where I was standing. They seemed to want to be fed. I found some grated cheese, but the Bowerbirds ate it all. Yesterday one appeared again, so I took some cheese out, and called "here Butchy", and to my surprise it flew straight over to me. It ate a couple of pieces, then disappeared, but reappeared with it's friend not long after. Both ate some cheese, but had to contend with a hungry Bowerbird, and a rather aggressive Magpie Lark.
