I do not think so / hope not Cestrum. Our home is only two "suburban blocks" away from the bushland despite being close on 100 years old. I was totally amazed to find "chickie" here 8th January this year. (pix attached).
We were also amazed that "it" could travel less than 800m via backyards etc despite domestic pets. However reading the ABC report I am not surprised at the tenacity of these birds.
