This female eclectus parrot has laid her eggs in a much sought-after tree hollow. (birds chirping) Her green mate will deliver food to her so she can stay on guard duty. High and dry, the hollow is safe from flooding and predators. It's the perfect spot for her precious clutch. (gentle rhythmic music) It should be a textbook incubation. (cockatoos screaming) But the neighbors nobody wants are looking to move into this leafy suburb. (uptempo music) The sulphur-crested cockatoo. (cockatoo screams) Loud, assertive, and ready to lay, this pair want the hollow for themselves. (cockatoos screaming) But the eclectus that is lucky to raise even one clutch a year, isn't easily intimidated. (cockatoos screaming) (eclectus screaming)
