I was pleased to find these delightful birds breeding in the scribbly gums in our yard. A patient wait helped locate the hollow!

You have some nice habitat there, Wollemi.
Hi Woko,
thanks, I am at a point now where I would like to move, (actually need to move) but am very afraid of what will happen to the many scribbly gums with so many hollows in them once someone else owns the property....
One of our scribbly gums has a beautiful big hollow that the Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos check out each year, spend a bit of time nibbling away at, and then abandon to the sulphur-crested Cockatoos who are again nesting in it this year as they did last year.
Another tree has a hollow for little corella, rainbow lorikeet, and for red rumped, lots of our trees have multiple hollows of assorted sizes.
our neighbours kill the trees then cut them down because they're dead... it breaks my heart. I have planted a fair bit if understorey too and I know that any new owner wont appreciate that at all.
Happy Birding!

Lovely shots , what a beautiful bird
Be a shame if you do need to move from such lovely place
Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well
I share your anxiety, Wollemi. After nearly 30 years of habitat restoration Ms Woko & I are seeing the time when we won't have the energy to do any more on our property. It'll be on to the next challenge which might be with a bush care group where I'll be on the gang which doesn't have to do any bending.
In the meantime I'm sure we'll be anxious about what dastardly deeds are being done to the indigenous vegetation we've planted & encouraged to regenerate at our (former) place. Horses would be a big worry. Nevertheless, lots of neighbors are now doing what we're doing so, hopefully, the work will continue.
