User's notes
After frightening off a gang gang pair, this pair of rainbow lorikeets made themselves at home until the gang gangs returned to assert their ownership of the hollow. The lorikeets did not agree, and non-too-politely fought off the gang gangs.

Great sighting Lisa. Would you mind putting in a separate sighting for the Gang Gangs so it goes on the record for them as well?
