Feeding
It eats grass and tree seeds and fruits, including River Red-gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), River Sheoak (Casuarina cunninghamiana), Snow-in-summer (Melaleuca linariifolia) and other melaleucas, and Rough Cockleburr (Xanthium strumarium). Birds are partial to the introduced Scotch Thistle (Onopordum acanthium).

Famous quotes containing the word feeding:
“I am still a learner, not a teacher, feeding somewhat omnivorously, browsing both stalk and leaves; but I shall perhaps be enabled to speak with more precision and authority by and by,—if philosophy and sentiment are not buried under a multitude of details.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“How did you feel feeding doughnuts to a horse? Had a kick out of it, huh? Got a big laugh. Did you ever think of feeding doughnuts to a human being? No!”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
“It no longer makes sense to speak of “feeding problems” or “sleep problems” or “negative behavior” is if they were distinct categories, but to speak of “problems of development” and to search for the meaning of feeding and sleep disturbances or behavior disorders in the developmental phase which has produced them.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
