User's notes
Flock of >30 parrots zipping between eucalyptus with white bark, did not interact with other vegetation. Appeared to be eating something on the leaves of the plant (see last image with leaf in mouth). Have been coming by each day for about a week now, feed for a couple of hours in the canopy then head off by mid morning.
