Andrew. A couple of years ago my dogs located a Rainbow lorikeet nest in a
tree hollow right on ground level. It looked as though the birds had
actually dug away the sand to get into the tree hollow. I could hear young
lorikeets inside and I only just managed to pull the dogs away in time!
This was in Shorncliffe north of Brissy.

Hi
I recently watched a pair of Rainbow lorikeets checking out a tree hollow
beside the Maroochy River in Qld. The only unusual feature was that the
hollow was only about 4 inches above ground level. The birds actually landed
on the ground to hop inside and check it out.
Has anyone seen lorikeets nesting particularly low? I know that budgies
will nest on the ground when all the available hollows are taken.
Cheers
Andrew
