Permanent residents of the garden and surrounding bush. Their screeching night-time calls can be heard for miles around. About six years ago, a pair claimed a six foot pile of soil for their mound that was meant for the garden. We don't mind though as it's fascinating to watch them meticulously digging and scraping the mound, monitoring the temperature to incubate eggs. They've produced several chicks so far.
