Observation details
This was my first observation of this species. I had looked for them a number of times at A.D. Barnes (including earlier this morning). I was happily surprised to find them at this location. I saw the pair at the hollow palm tree first. Not sure how likely it is that this would be a possible nest site, but one bird spent quite a bit of time inside and completely out of sight. Later, I saw a pair at another location feeding in a fruiting tree. Toward the end of my observation, I had a flock of at least 8 individuals fly into the Australian Pines lining the "park entrance road". I assumed this flock contained the individuals I had observed earlier. Very handsome species!
