No
doubt better than their own flimsy nest, if they decide to nest in it. Although
being big, it may attract predators like currawongs, and pigeons probably
have lesser ability to defend a nest than a group of choughs...........

From: Sue Lashko [ Sent: Tuesday, 24 November 2009 9:24 PM To: canberrabirds chatline Subject: [canberrabirds] squatters At O'Connor Ridge yesterday morning, in adjacent trees were 2 chough nests,
one unsurprisingly occupied by a chough with attendants close by, and the other
occupied by a firmly ensconced and gently "omming" Common Bronzewing. Has
anyone seen or heard of this before? (Alas, I do not own HANZAB). I
remember the Tawny Frogmouth occupying a chough's nest at Campbell Park a few
years ago, but didn't know bronzewings were also squatters.
