During the last week I watched a pair of Galahs
biting off small eucalypt branches about as long as the bird's head-body-tail
length (one each) and together fly to a tall palm tree with a mass of dead
hanging leaves. They then proceeded to work the broken off eucalypt branches
into what appears to be a cavity they have formed among the dead hanging leaves.
I have since seen the pair several times at the same palm tree though not again
carrying in branches. The location is at my neighbour (diagonal) from my front
yard, on the corner of Everard Place, opposite the brushwood fence, so one house
site along from the WFHO site. This is an unusual nesting behaviour, though I
believe I have read of similar observations.
