User's notes

I heard the Gang-gang Cockatoos before I saw them. One couple started in a tall dead tree. The male was flying between the branches of the tree. I did not see a female until one arrived to chase away the Crimson Rosella discussed in the previous entry about the tree hollow. The female perched on the top of the hollow but did not enter. The male I had been watching arrived at the hollow and eventually entered, going all the way in until he was completely hidden from sight. He re-emerged at the hollow before appearing to flap his wings while hanging at the entrance. He did not appear to be caught on anything, so I am not sure what he was doing. He remained in the hollow while the female stayed perched above the hollow. I did not see the female enter the hollow before I left.

Thanks - there is a record of Gang Gangs using this tree about 10 years ago
