I hope it could get out of its possie inside the tree-guard. We once found a female Hooded Robin trapped inside a tree-guard - presumably it had flown down inside after a moth or grass-hopper. We raised the plastic sleeve and it dashed out, and instantly began feeding on insects in the grass despite the presence of several people within metres.

We have heard plenty of Owlet-nightjars on our place north of Hobart but never 
seen one. We were checking trees we had planted, this afternoon on the north 
side of the hill and on checking one, found this roosting safely inside!
We were unaware that they would roost on the ground, more often tree stumps or 
hollows. We imagine this would be fairly unusual?
