Observation details
Young bird following one adult through eucalyptus persistently begging and occasionally being fed. Adult gleaning primarily off of eucalyptus leaves - although the eucalyptus is flowering I didn't see the bird visit the flowers. Watched an adult collect and consume a Glycaspis brimblecombei lerp off of a leaf. There are a handful of lerps on this tree but not tons - the adult seemed to be intentionally seeking out and consuming them. Also eating some other unidentified insect material (in photos).
