All along the Townsville waterfront birds are getting into the spirit of Christmas gourmandising by swooping on leftovers at open air eateries and also munching the seeds on trees . Dive bombing Pigeons were snapped by Vallis above one popular spot , spying out the snatch and grab take away menu .
Nearby were the leftovers of seedpods munched by squawking Red-tailed Black Cockatoos. Mynah birds were out in numbers , hopping about , on the lookout for stray viands along The Strand .
