I was out doing some nextbox checks yesterday (for crimson rosellas) for my project and in one of the trees there appeared to be a pair of corellas nesting in a natural hollow, as well as the rosella nestbox. It's right at the beginning of the season at the moment, but I will keep an eye on that particular tree as the season progresses to determine whether both species are nesting in the same tree.
On a similar note, we evicted 4 sugar gliders from other nestboxes in the area, as well as removing many other possum nests from the nestboxes.

A local resident has enquired of me: "I also noticed today near Gundaroo , both white cockies and wood ducks nesting in the same tree ( different limbs) again would that be unusual ?"
In the ACT it would probably be unusual that a tree with 2 hollows hadn't been felled on orders from TAMS lawyers. However in the less litigious environs of Gundaroo would such behaviour simple represent two des res being occupied and them suiting different species?
