Late afternoon in Elsternwick, SE Melbourne. The calls of several Pied Currawongs are heard, growing closer. Suddenly, ten alight on a eucalypt in our garden, near a busy thoroughfare. The noise is incredible – a cacophony of shrieks, whistles, squawks. One seems to have something the others don’t, but it’s not much of a prize: a lump of grass. Or is it? The others evict this bird with aggressive swoops. Does anyone have an idea why this may have caused such a fuss? (Please see photo.)
