RTBC near Laidley

Since 1991, these magnificent birds have been annual visitors to Toowoomba and surrounds in fluctuating numbers and for varying lengths of time. The availability of fruiting White Cedar (Melia azerderach) dictate their local movements but how and to what extent is unclear.

Let's collectively get a better idea on their annual numbers, daily patterns of movement and local distribution. How far east do they venture each year? Do they ever reach Ipswich and Brisbane? Provide the date and time, number of birds, exact location, and what they were doing e.g. feeding in white cedar, roosting, flying east.

RTBC near Laidley

Post by gileas »

Hi all,

On Tuesday 13th April Andrew Stafford and I had 4 RTBCs about 2km east of the Laidley turnoff on the Warrego Hwy. Probably the furthest east I've personally seen them.

Regards,
Chris
