Austral migrant, moving to Australian mainland Jan-May, a few birds remaining in Tasmania year-round; on
wintering grounds irregularly dispersive and nomadic, following eucalypt flowering and psyllid lerp infestations,
except at centre of distribution in S & C Victoria, unless occasional widespread flowering allows large-scale
movements throughout winter range. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1997)
