Quoting Bruce Walker bruce.wal...@gmail.com: Gorgeous birds, Brian, and a great composition. Did they eventually move in? Thanks Bruce, Paul Jack. No - it's an interesting tree hollow. Apart from the galahs, it's been checked out by Kookaburras, Eastern Rosellas and even a pair of wood ducks. The galahs have been returning every day or so but they have made no attempt to move in. The hollow certainly seems big enough - both birds have been inside at the same time - but there must be something unsuitable about it. Maybe it gets too wet. Or the rent's too high...
