A post-modern hollow

Several years ago this happened opposite our house, in an old street light.

We reported it to Access Canberra and it was fixed straight away.  We were very impressed with the service.

A pair of Common Mynas in my street in Deakin has chosen a broken street light for a nesting hollow.  The shield glass has broken leaving a fair-sized, if rather jagged, opening.

I can’t see exactly what stage they are at but it appears there is grass and other nesting material in the light; I have seen one bird in the nest and one on top of the post with a large insect in its bill; I have seen both birds in the nest.

 

But I have not seen incubation or feeding activity yet.  So I am not sure if they yet have eggs in the light. I’ll keep watching.
