Keep an eye on the hen for aggression. They are evil. I have had two hens kill cocks so far.

Post some pics, Ben; love to see them.
My sporadic trapping efforts have so far yielded a crimson rosella, a white-eye and several wood pigeons, all released unharmed to the delight of my children.
I will post pics of my sparrows as soon as I can catch the little blighters.

Crested wood pigeons. Common as mud around here.
The iPhone app calls it Crested Pigeon, Ocyphaps lophotes.
Perhaps another case of confusing local names...
