"The housing market in most parts of Australia is notoriously competitive. You
might be surprised to learn we humans are not the only ones facing such
difficulties.
With spring rapidly approaching, and perhaps a little earlier due to climate
change, many birds are currently on the hunt for the best nesting sites.
This can be hard enough for birds that construct nests from leaves and twigs in
the canopies of shrubs and trees, but imagine how hard it must be for species
that nest in tree hollows.
They are looking for hollows of just the right size, in just the right place.
Competition for these prime locations is cut-throat."
