Denis could well be right. I recall seeing a
SC Cockatoo physically tweaking the tail of a goanna in a tree at
South Durras - looking quite fearsome with sulphur crest fully erect, wings
fanned, and making a helluva noise. The goanna seemed unfazed. I
don't recall seeing a hollow in the vicinity, but there could have been (with
cockatoo eggs in it) given the ferocious nature of the cocky's
onslaught.
Cheers
Rod.
