Hi Trish,
SC Cockatoos are known to dig for the bulbs of Onion
Grass Romulea sp., an inconspicuous lily like introduced
plant with six mauvey-pink petals. It has one or two thin grass
like blades to 15cm. If you keep checking the site where the
SCCs were digging for the next couple of months some of the flower should
appear.
