Can anyone guess what bird is nesting in this tree hollow near my house? Interesting to note the wearing away of wood where parents have been perching.

Do you know what it is or is this a quiz? Hmm, this is difficult. I guess Nankeen Kestrel.
I might say kookaburra? Not going on much though
The way the creature is positioned I'd say it's an Australian Owlet Night-jar. If so it's highly unlikely to be a pest, though.
That was my first thought Woko! The second photo made me question it, i'm not an expert though
Second thoughts people? I'll clarify that it's not a pest just being "pesty" by appearing like that.
And yes this is a quiz! I'll give answer soon but I'm not yet saying if someone has guessed correctly or not. Any other guesses?
I must admit I wouldn't know what it was if I hadn't seen the parents there before. But I do know what birds are using the hollows at my place so if I didn't see the parents and only the chick, then I might've been able to guess what it was.
Elsie you are correct! It is a Kookaburra chick.
