Behaviour
We sat for lunch at the Limestone Cliffs and Melsby landed on a branch 20m away. We closed our packs. He stole a biscuit right out of my partner's hand! He hung around, and then came up and started flapping around me. I reckon he was trying to shock me into dropping my food, and he was successful, making off with half a sandwich. We never tried to encourage him. He is good thief! He revisited us all the way up the track to the Luxmore Hut.
