Looked at Ryu's pic of the baby lorikeet - and it is obviously in a different hollow to the one I saw an adult emerge from this morning, then go back into a few minutes later. So it seems there are at least 2 current breeding events for the rainbow lorikeets at the park.

This morning I was investigating a begging call which turned out to be coming from a hollow- 2 Rainbow Lorikeets flew out and a little while later, a juvenile close to fledging with dark eyes and beak tentatively peeking out of the hollow. 

COG PDF datasheet shows no NY records as of 2013 and no breeding records for March or April.
