"Thats that story from North side. North of Jarra Jarra. This one is a story about that bird, like a pigeon, arnterpe (common bronze-wing), we call them. Them birds they been hanging around that North side of Jarra Jarra. That their place. They used to fly around and come back the same place. They'd fly around looking for that nterrenge (edible seeds), and come back that same spot. Go eat them some where and come back. You see them how they all fly, all together."
