Delonix regia
These birds are primary cavity nesters, chiseling out the trunk or a vertical branch of tree with a round entry hole. They breed from December to July, sometimes raising two broods. Favoured nest trees in urban areas include gulmohur ("Delonix regia") and African tulip ("Spathodea campanulata"). These nest holes may also be used as roosts. They may reuse the same nest tree each year but often excavate a new entrance hole.
