Nest Box Ownership

[David Churches <>]

G'day all

Have been having a good chuckle today watching the antics of a pair of
Starlings and a pair of Indian Miners arguing the toss as to who will use
the parrot nest box in my back yard.  It appears the Miners have won at the
moment, but to their distress, I have a large flock of batchelor magpies
who are convinced there is food in the nest box, and every time one of them
enters, a magpie shoves its head in the box to see what the fuss is about.
The pair of Miners hunt that magpie, and the rest of the flock gather to
join in the fun.

Hate to disappoint them all, but that is a PARROT box, an they aint
parrots.  (I also have a pair of Crimson Rosellas interested.)
Cheers
