Twitching – Three of 8ight
So named because they always seem to travel around in groups of twelve.
Up here they are also known as Happy Jacks because that is what they are. Happy all the time, tame and cheeky with it.
When we first came across them in outback NSW I referred to them as ‘Thankyou birds” because that is what they appeared to be saying, especially after a few crumbs of cake.
