There must be something about doves. We've had them nest in this tree for several years. We don't see many Currawongs - the Noisy Minors chase them away. There's a family of four Magpies back this year - caroling away merrily. I'm not sure which of the trees they are calling home.

My trees are very tall too, almost to the top of the gabled roof-I try to reduce the height every year, and often wonder just how tall these trees would grow if left to their own devices.
Sadly, I have seen currawongs destroy a nest, kill the baby dove and fly off with it, presumably to eat it. We have lots of minors too, but the Currawongs only seem to be around during the doves breeding season.
