Galah enlarging hollow in eucalypt, Bot Gardens

["Philip Veerman" <>]

For what it is worth, the (or a) Crimson Rosella pair (I'm guessing at least it is the same male) still attend the nest box in my yard, every day (I was away over easter so don't know, but before and after, so I assume it) where they raised 3 young earlier this "season".

there are at least 3 tree spouts getting regular attention from pairs of sulphur-crested cockatoos on Farrer Ridge - seen several times in past week.

Yesterday for about 15 minutes I watched a galah diligently cleaning out and enlarging a hollow in a mature tree at the southern end of the Eucalypt Lawn at the Botanic Gardens. Its mate (presumably) sat mutely watching from another tree about 20 metres away.
