Hole Holes Nest Building Pardalote Pardalotes Working At Nest

EDITORS COMMENTS
Peek-a-Boo! This Striated Pardalote is a true construction pro!". In this print by Don Hadden, we witness the incredible work ethic of a Black-headed subspecies of Striated Pardalote. Nestled in the picturesque Manning Gorge campground along the Gibb River Road in Western Australia's Kimberley region, this little birdie is caught red-handed at the entrance of its nest hole. With its vibrant feathers and determined gaze, it seems like our feathered friend has taken up a new career as an architect! Engaged in some serious DIY, it tirelessly chips away at the unfinished tunnel entrance. Who knew these tiny creatures possessed such impressive excavation skills? As part of their natural habitat across Australia's Top End from Queensland to Kimberley, Striated Pardalotes are known for their intricate nests. But witnessing one actively building its home is truly a sight to behold! Don't be fooled by its small size; this pardalote means business. With each peck and scratch, it diligently creates a cozy abode for itself or perhaps even future family members. So next time you're out exploring nature's wonders Down Under, keep an eye out for these hardworking avian architects. And if you happen to capture their remarkable efforts on camera like Don Hadden did with DH-4100, remember to appreciate their dedication and craftsmanship – no commercial use intended!
