g'day Mike,

"...In many species only the female will feed the
babies and the male will pass food on to the female by regurgitating...."
Many thanks for the reply and info.
I have previously seen a Cloncurry Parrot passing fig
tree seeds to its mate ---obviously a mating ritual...even if they are
permanent pairs
Since the first observations at the site I have noted on
different days
-- after one bird has come out of the nest the other then
enters (eg today)each for a few minutes
-- normally the first bird stays around until the 2nd
bird comes out and they both leave the area together..but today the 1st bird
flew off as soon as he came out of the nest hole.
-- one bird only returning and entering the nest (for about 5
mins)
-- both birds entering the nest together and staying about 5
mins
Regards, Bob Forsyth, Mount Isa, NW
