It has been fascinating watching a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets setting up a nest in the hollow of a eucalyptus tree near our house. They have been working away for a few weeks now. Initially they seemed to be cleaning it and enlarging the cavity but in the last couple of days they have been plucking feathers from each others tails as seen in the second photo, I guess to line the nest? Hopefully I can record the progress and report any future developments.
