57. Myzomela sanguinolenta (Scarlet Honeyeater): Tolerably 
plentiful, but more often heard than seen. On 14/7/45 
dozens of this species were singing in the scrub, creating 
a very pleasing sound. 
58. Gliciphila imlistincta (Brown Honeyeater): Common in the 
dwarfed bushes in or near the scrub during the winter 
months. Its rich, fluty song is then heard at its best. 
59. Meliphaga lewini (Lewin Honeyeater): Visits the park 
occasionally, when its ringing call resounds through the 
scrub. Sometimes it will appear near the path leading to 
the Teachers’ College, when it shows no fear of pedestrians. 
60. M. chrysops (Yellow-faced Honeyeater): Commoner than 
M. lewini, the “Chickup” keeps to the gully in the scrub, 
whence its call is fairly often heard, especially in winter. 
61. Myzantha melanocephala (Noisy Miner): Not so common 
as in some other reservations in Brisbane; usually heard 
in the tree-tops. 
62. Philemon corniculatus (Noisy Friar-bird): A common 
inhabitant of the eucalypts, whence it often calls. A pug- 
nacious species, it is sometimes seen attacking Whistling 
Eagles and other large birds. 
63. Antnus australis (Pipit): Although the lawns and nearby 
unmown grass form an ideal habitat for this species, it is 
not often seen. 
64. Aidesmosyne modesta (Plum-headed Finch).* 
65. Oriolus sagittatus (Olive-backed Oriole): Odd birds are 
heard occasionally. Their fondness for the crests of hill- 
sides is shown by the fact that when heard, the bird is 
usually located near the top of the gully near the Teachers’ 
College. 
66.. Corvus cecilae (Crow): Moderately plentiful. Occasionally 
single birds will alight on the roof of the Teachers’ Col- 
lege, creating a disturbance by their loud cries. Is of use 
in disposing of carrion, especially sparrow’s. 
67. C'racticus nigrogularis (Pied Butcher-bird) : Fairly common 
in open and open forest country. This species is often to 
be seen in the College grounds, w’here it searches in the 
rubbish-bins for food-scr3ps. Breeds in spring-time. 
68. Gymnorhina tibicen (Black-backed Magpie): Uncommon; 
odd birds are seen from time to time. Usually noted in 
the grounds of the College. 
Introduced Birds. 
69. Streptopelia chinensis tigrina (Malay Turtle-dove): 
Exceedingly numerous throughout the park. 
70. Stnrnus vulgaris (Starling): Common in all types of 
country. 
71. Munia punctulata (Nutmeg Finch): Fairly plentiful in long 
grass and the reed-beds. 
72. Carduelis carduelis (Goldfinch) : Not so common as other 
introduced species in Brisbane. There is but one record 
for the park. The Common Sparrow (Passer domesticus) 
is extremely common in all classes of country and the 
Domesticated Pigeon gone wild (Columba livia domestica) 
occurs plentifully at roadsides.
