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:
“There are times when parenthood seems nothing but feeding the mouth that bites you.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
“When all who had money and leisure
Grew rural o’er ices and wines,
All pleasantly toiling for pleasure,
All hungrily pining for pines,
And making of beautiful speeches,
And marring of beautiful shows,
And feeding on delicate peaches,
And treading on delicate toes.”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)
“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)
