Cloncurry Parrot

["Janis Hosking" <>]

Hi all,

We have noticed this same behavour with the Glossy Black-cockatoos that we 
have been studying in Goonoo State Forest for six years.     There is 
pre-breeding courtship begging and feeding.  After the chick has hatched, 
when the adults come in to the nest at dusk, the female sits down the branch 
below the male and begs to be fed.  This is repeated at least six or eight 
times and after a while she flys to the nest goes down, and feeds the chick.
regards Janis Hosking
