Interesting facts:
Mt druitt sub species are often observed laying flat on their backs in what I assume is some sort of display ritual. They can often be found in flocks around clubs, pubs & inns. This species is also prone to neglecting their offspring in order to find a mate, although the ritual of the relationship is polygamous & lasts a mere 12 hour cycle. Some have evolved to semi monagamy where they spend a brief period with a male before evicting him from the nest he built and inviting a new mate to join her in her new comforts.
Don't know much about other sub species, but that gives an idea of locality extremes between them lmao.
