User's notes
Young one preparing to fledge - standing on rim, cleaning feet, stretching wings as much as possible inside hollow. Sibling was in nearby tree, with both parents in attendance. Sibling was noisily fed, and tree-chick was pretty unhappy and called to be fed too - but no attendance by parents at that point. Chick was finally fed late at night (7.50pm) before adult and chick retired into the hollow for the night. (note - chick had not fledged by evening of 13/11/24)

Thank you! We're finding it fascinating comparing parrots (such as gang gangs) and similarities in fledging behaviour - I'm learning so much. And today's update is yet to come . . .
