HI Sue, aren't they noisy when they start calling?
I am surrounded by them in my garden and every evening the pair come to the same tree to roost and call to eachother really loudly before they settle down.
Do you guys know if Figbirds have yellow/orange faces when they are young? Or perhaps some have yellower faces?
.
I saw one at work the other day, on a Blue Quandong tree.
It was almost certainly a figbird, but had an orangey-yellow face patch rather than red.
