User's notes
The female was talking to the male somewhere nearby and then went to and entered the hollow. When a pair of galahs arrived at their hollow in another part of the same tree, the male appeared and chased them away (arrows in second photo). The female left the hollow during the chase and and they sat together for a while before another galah chase. Eventually they settled together high in a wind-blown tree before the male went to the hollow and she waited.
