Behaviour
Bird 1 was the lead bird in a group of 5 - he spotted me and quickly landed to check out the possibility of food. The others quickly followed and all approached very close - enough for two of them to peck at my pack. When no food was forthcoming they headed off after about 5 mins. I observed one bird feeding another untagged juvenile.
