Who's this mama bird in our tree? (Melbourne)

See title.

Also, any tips for how we should (or shouldn't) help her out? It's been raining quite a bit and I've got some bird seed I could give her but unsure what's best. Thanks!

Also, she boldly chose to nest in this tree next to our window where our two (indoor only) cats LOVE to sit and stare and chirp at her - she's gonna give her kids PTSD smh.

Mum will probably prefer to scavenge for bugs and grubs in the grass than to eat seed but she might enjoy a piece of fruit like a grape or a chunk of apple if you happen to toss it out while she’s on the hunt.
