User's notes
I saw mum sitting at the mouth of the hollow at 8pm the night before. Today, there was no movement at the hollow - I assumed the young had fledged. Later that afternoon, I happened to notice this very young one awkwardly balancing near the top of a tree in the sun, while adults flew off. I believe this is one of the fledglings, fledged today. There was no sign of the second fledgling. Of note is the wing stretching, and the chewing of the foot - both seem to be indicative of impending fledging, and very recent post fledging (in parrots, anyway).
