G'day Birders

Andrew asked:

Has anyone seen lorikeets nesting particularly low?  I know that budgies
will nest on the ground when all the available hollows are taken.

Last year we had a pair nest in a Long-leaved Box, with the entranceonly 60cm from the ground. As best I could tell they did not raisetheir young, as did a pair nesting in a Red Stringy-bark hollow at 1.3m.


Cheers
