Reposting this to add that the gardener has been asked to chop this tree down...
A gardener friend just found a nest in a tree with the body of a crimson rosella next to it. One photo is attached I’ll send one or two more separately. As rosellas nest in hollows, the nest must belong to another
bird. He is looking for advice what if anything he might do. The eggs are about the size of a 10c piece. The tree is in Mackenzie Street, Hackett. The gardener will be there for an hour or so but has left the tree alone while he works elsewhere in the garden.
Will send another photo or two now.
