User's notes
A pair of Gang-gang Cockatoos were sitting quietly in a Yellow Box Tree. They had not been there when Flutteringsparrow2 and I initially passed a few minutes before. This was the same pair of Gang-gangs reported by Flutteringsparrow2 at 4246840. The two birds were on seperate branches with the female higher than the male. They were on the opposite side of the tree from the hollow Flutteringsparrow2 had seen them using. The male was preening himself but the female was just perching quietly. The male and the female did make the occasional low ‘graw’ but were certainly not calling out loudly. After about five minutes the female flew to another branch that was closer to the hollow but still higher. The male stayed put. After about another five minutes they both flew off to the east calling loudly where I lost sight of them.
