User's notes
Second half of a set of photos of 2 probably non nesting females and a juvenile male possibly son of one of the females based on close connection in some of the photos. Photographer thinks that the birds may be drinking in the tree after a rainy day. The second roosting group to visit the tree for 15 minutes or so in 2 days. Both groups appeared to be rubbing their beaks against holes in the bark made by Cockatoos and galah who visit the tree frequently. Tree a Red Spotted Gum, E. mannifera maculosa. See connected photos on 4622342 . Please comment if you have an idea of whether the birds could be feeding in this tree too and on other possible behaviours you can observe. Gang gangs have been coming to this tree on and off for years originally attracted to the garden by a Chinese pistachio tree, now cut down, as well as by the gum. The photographers and I, who uploads their photos would be interested to know if some of our observations are accurate or maybe not.
