COG trip to Lake George. We watched this galah fly over with a gum twig in its beak. The nesting hollow was nearby. We watched as it wrestled the leaves into the hollow. Never seen this before. Strangely, just the day prior, watching rosellas foraging in the undergrowth, I'd wondered whether parrots lined their nesting hollows. Here is the answer.
