The birds were making a lot of noise at a tree hollow. There was a large tree hollow and the lorikeets seemed to be moving around the edges making a lot of noise, almost sounding an alarm. One pair approached the hollow first but neither of the birds landed on the edge of the hollow, just nearby it. I thought I heard a dull growl from inside but I am not certain. The first pair eventually flew away. By that stage, the second pair were at a different part of the tree. They flew back to the hollow. They were initially moving around the edge, but not landing on the edge of the hollow. One of them eventually moved on to the lip of the hollow but did not stay long before retreating a little distance away. Nothing attacked the bird but the bird seemed agitated by something in the hollow.
