Surely the problem is with competition for nesting hollows (in the case of
the Glossy Black Cockatoo)rather than predation of nests? I know that
possums do take advantage of bird eggs as free meals, but I would have
thought that competition for a limited number of nesting hollows would be a
more important force on Kangaroo Island. This is obviously not related to
the ground dwelling Kakapo though. Any thoughts?
