Pied Oystercatcher broken wing display
10,000 Birds
OCTOBER 2, 2011
Sadly a lot of eggs are lost to feral cats and chicks are sometimes taken by birds of prey. This bird was originally banded in Roebuck Bay in 2002 and has used Cable Beach to nest for at least 12 years. They will move away from the chicks to distract the predator and I have seen it work very well with dogs! Time will tell!
