Grey butcherbirds – FOOD FOR THOUGHT!! :-)

I totally agree that people feeding them also has contributed to this Grey Butcherbird increase in numbers in recent decades in the suburbs of these cities.

BUT here’s another reason I’ve thought of that no-one has mentioned as yet…

food for thought… 😊

I also reckon that both Grey and Pied Butcherbirds would have been having a great time helping themselves to any dog and cat food of the meaty and fishy variety left outside by pet owners too!!!

so I don’t think that’s it’s just down to people feeding these birds intentionally…

Hello Stephen,

Probably because people feed them!

Cheers
