Around 10 GangGangs spending a lot of the days eating from this tree, not worried by people. Just love these berries.

Thanks for the info on the trees Michael. I had no idea what they were, they are near our daughter’s house in Griffith, quite a few in that area. Are there many of these trees in other areas of Canberra because the Gang-gangs are there every day and seem to love them, don't even care when people are standing right under the tree they are in. Such cute birds, just love them sadly not many in Belconnen area.

They are quite widespread in inner Canberra (in suburbs dating from or before the 1970s)- they used to occur along Northbourne Avenue
