Double-eyed fig parrot nest behaviour

[Michael Tarburton <>]

G'day Don

HANZAB says:

Breeding very poorly known & no major studies.  Does say one current  
nest tree had two older hollows presumed to be from previous years.
So looks like there is an opportunity for someone in Cairns to do  
some useful follow up work on that nest site.
Cheers


Mike
