User's notes

The female was agitated by something inside the hollow and kept circling and squawking into it. The male was on an adjacent branch and appeared to be dozing....

Thanks Tim - I think that this was a previously successful Gang-gang nesting hollow, but since then has had sugar gliders in most breeding seasons. Sugar gliders prey on Gang-gang chicks
