User's notes
These taken over last two days. The young male sat still for his photo, the adult male didn't (was chased away by White winged choughs).
I didn't actually see them eating, but they have spent a lot of time in our front yard, and I now find a vast carpet of Callitris rhomboidea branch ends on the ground with clusters of fruit from the female trees. Presume this is due to Gang Gangs as the Crimson Rosellas don't spend time there.
