Animals

Viviparous (live young). Up to 30 live young are produced mid to late summer.

Breeding season extends from July through to December. These birds form monogamous pairs. Nests in hollows high in tall Manna Gums or Sugar Gums or in the cavities of loose gravelly cliffs. Both parents prepare the nest and incubate 2-4 eggs for 25 days. Both parents feed the young.

Females give birth to up to 7 live young. Active at night.

Breeds from April through to December. Both sexes build a stick nest in the fork of a tree up to 10 m high. Clutch size is 4-5 eggs and they are incubated by the female for 19-20 days. Both sexes feed the young.

Live young are produced.

Breeding season is from August to December in southern Australia. Nests in mature, living trees that are rarely isolated. Clutch size is usually 2, sometimes 3. Incubation is usually carried out by the female, although the male will incubate while the female feeds. Incubation is from 30-40 days. The male hunts for food for the young. Young fly at 55-65 days.

Roosts in small holes and crevices in tree hollows, under bark and in buildings. Twins are generally born in late spring-early summer. Will forage amongst low foliage, on the ground or in flight.

Breeds spring and summer. Builds a bulky domed nest in buildings, tree hollows or shrubs. Pairs mate for life. The female incubates the eggs but both male and female build the nest and care for the young.

Mostly nocturnal. Can breed from 8 weeks of age, with litters of 4-8 young. When food is abundant and rains make the soil easy to burrow, mice can reach plague proportions.

Breeds September-January following significant rainfall. Builds cup-shaped nest in hollow or natural depressions in the ground, usually in grasslands.
