Yep, that's my understanding. We have roost caves on Pungalina too, but we only visit them when we need to survey the population because they are sensitive to human disturbance.

It's doing really well. I've just started working there so I don't have a good frame of reference, but the habitats are looking really healthy, the fire program is going well and feral herbivores are being managed well.

Gouldian Ficnhes are listed as endangered under the EPBC act, with numbers once thought to be as low as 2500. Their primary threat is inappropriate fire regimes resulting in large, hot late dry season fires which destroy the tree hollows the nest in and reduce the availability of the seed they eat
