Striated Pardalotes Shopping at Tuggeranong

[John Harris <>]

A Striated Pardalote could well go up any open tube or hole, including a clothesline I guess.

Both the Spotted and Striated have similar nesting habits. I think it is just that the Striated is less common in Canberra and so its nesting is reported a bit less. Cheers

Thanks John, I just had a query from a friend who posted a pic of what looked like a Striated Pardalote except she said it was nesting IN her clothesline ... and I thought they nested in burrows. Is that only Spotted Pardalotes that do that?

I wouldn¹t be at all surprised if they were looking for a nesting site.
Both species of Pardalote typically nest on verandahs,in guttering etc,
especially if they can find something tubular as an entry point. There is
one nest at the moment near me in a hollow object on a verandah.
