![]() ![]() The narrative of a voyage of discovery, performed in His Majesty's Vessel the Lady Nelson, of sixty tons burthen, with sliding keels, in the years 1800, 1801, and 1802, to New South Wales, pl.opp.p.135. Other gang-gangs were calling constantly from the north. Callocephalon fimbriatum (Grant, 1803) PROTONYM:Psittacus fimbriatus Grant, 1803. When i made a move in the direction of the hollow, he withdrew inside again. A minute or so later, a male nestling appeared at the hollow but there was no interaction with the adults. I departed from the area immediately near the hollow and at 8:30 the female went to the hollow but did not go in, she just went around the hollow for a minute before flying back to a branch. The Gang-gang Cockatoo can be found in eucalypt woodland forests of south-eastern Australia. The female flew back a little later but stayed away from the hollow. The male flew back to the original tree at 8:24 but not to the hollow. Those Sulphurs then went to a hollow opposite the Gang-gang hollow where one of the Sulphurs went inside. He did not chase off the Sulphurs, even when one, then another landed at the Gang-gang hollow to start chewing around it. He had to chase the the Galah several times before the Galah left the area. At 8:03 the male chased off a persistent Galah that landed in the original tree. They then came together for mutual preening. At 7:51 the original pair flew to a different tree about 10 metres to the north, initially to different branches where they commenced preening individually after five minutes. They made some noise but not the original pair, nor was there any confrontation between the pairs. Another pair arrived at 7:47 but only stayed a couple of minutes before departing. There were up to four Sulphur-crested Cockatoos looking at hollows in the Gang-gang hollow tree but they did not go to the Gang-gang hollow. A pair of Gang-gang Cockatoos ( Callocephalon fimbriatum) arrived at 7:28 but stayed very quiet, the female in the tree with the hollow, while the male was on a branch in a different tree in line of sight of the hollow. ![]()
