Hi all
I’ve just been sent pics of that, to me, confirm this behaviour (in Cheltenham, southern Melbourne).
The nest is a deep cup on an inner fork of a small tree with the wattlebird sitting well down in the cup.
Has anyone heard of this happening before?

“Hi Greg
Nothing about such behaviour in HANZAB, and I have not heard of such a site.
Cheers
Hugh”
