User's notes

A lot of competition for limited hollows at the moment! This gang gang pair were happily chilling, checking and chewing, then looked a bit worried when they heard the threatening squawk of lorikeets and flew off. The lorikeets settled in, enjoying the space created by the hard work of the gang gangs, until the gang gangs returned. Unhappy with the interlopers, the male tried to assert his ownership but was eventually driven off by the colourful aggressors.
