User's notes
Male and female females. There are often small groups in the park - you can hear their distinctive call. Other neighbours round the Park also see them
Large numbers of gang gangs used to feed on the Cootamundra wattles in HGW but we were forced to remove them (fire control for the surrounding houses). Perhaps small areas of Cootamundra wattles etc could be planted for the gangs.

Silver wattles also work well for them during the breeding season Oct-Feb

There are silver wattles in HGW but the patch is not very healthy, it has been troubled by a tiny scale which we have tried unsuccessfully for several years to get rid of.
