User's notes

I assume this is the pair of gang gangs that originally excavated the hollow, before interloper galahs found it and quickly nested, beating the late starters to the plush new home. The galah which was sitting came out of the hollow, alerted by the noisy gang gangs, and chased them away, flying and squawking and following the gang gangs for a minute or two, before returning to the hollow.
