Records were kept for 328 interactions between Scarlet/Flame Robins and other landbirds at a
site in south-eastern New South Wales. Fifty-seven per cent of interactions were between robins and
other ground-foragers, particularly with Jacky Winter (41 % ). Bark-foragers, foliage-foragers and honeyeaters
were rarely, if ever, attacked, except when they came near nests of robins. Honeyeaters were
responsible for 57 per cent of the attacks directed at robins.
