Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita)

Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos were inspecting possible nesting holes in July this year when we managed to get close enough to one doing just that.Perhaps this bird had used this hollow in previous years,but competition from other species was fierce and we observed Rainbow Lorikeets and Common Mynas entering this hole within five minutes of us making this photo.
