 The capture in banksia woodland on the coastal plain, habitat dominated by trees of genus "Banksia", is also noted.Competition for suitable tree hollows from feral animals, honey bee colonies and the introduced parrot "Trichoglossus haematodus", reduces their availability and so considered a threatening factor to the presence of the species.The once extensive jarrah forests, mostly clearfelled and later managed by forestry practices, provides rich habitat that suits the morphology of this larger species.
