Hey Tony,
My vote is for the Kookas to kick the squatters out.

Some of you may remember my annual reports of Laughing Kookaburras nesting
in a hole in the big Palm tree in our back garden. They've successfully
produced a couple of young in each of the last four or five years.
In the last few days a pair of Galahs have been eyeing off the nest hole,
going in and out checking things out ( beds, running water, etc). This
morning the Kookies arrived back for the season, potentially raising a storm
over rights to the site.
Pam and I have been discussing which pair should be issued the nesting lease
for this year, or do we have a say in the matter anyway? Both species
produce a lot of noise and heaps of guano so we are at a loss how to
decide. Comments and suggestions would be most welcome from any birders
experienced in avian nesting leases for these species.
Thank you, Tony and Pam.
