User's notes
Family with 3 male fledglings flew in just before sunset. The adult female fed one of them and then proceeded to check out the 4 apple trees which had been eaten bare by the birds (including the gang gangs) and possums, She then realised that there were some apples on a tree that I had netted (wildlife friendly netting) and flew over and sat on top of the netting and started creaking at me. I then went and got an apple for her and threw it on the ground next to the tree, she then proceeded to eat it and then fed another fledging and then they took off.
