Stevie hollow - part 1. My observations indicated that Stevie and partner had been incubating eggssince around 7/10/26. I checked on the hollow regularly, and in the evenings would see Stevie, resting in her unique way - legs askew - in the mouth of the hollow, before moving down for the long night. During the day, I would sometimes see her mate emerge, and then back down into the hollow. On this morning, I thought I'd check the hollow just before work. What I found was devastating - female chest feathers, back and wing feathers, spread around the base of the tree, and cascading down the trunk from the hollow entrance. The culprit - 100% likely, a brush-tailed possum - another female gang-gang protecting her nest, lost to this deceptively 'cute' predator. However, the male was still there. He looked out, then flew to a nearby branch. I was distraught, and found it hard to concentrate at work . . . Over the next week or so, I continued to check the hollow - and the male continued to be in residence. One evening I stayed around for nearly three hours, and he was there, inside the hollow, for 40 minutes, flew off for 15 minutes, back, protecting the hollow for another hour or so, then left around 7pm. No sign of Stevie. If he was incubating eggs, the chicks wouldn't survive, as he wasn't there overnight. Our kind gang-gang scientist, Stacey, climbed the tree and looked in the hollow. To our surprise, it was completely bare. No eggs, no egg shell, no Stevie (alive or dead). A mystery. And yet, the male continued to hang around, and in, the hollow. Another mystery . . .
