They are described as being abundant, common, noisy, fast flying, forest dwelling parrots.
We have been having some lovely rain for the past few days. Yesterday when I looked out to see if it was still raining I saw 2 lorikeets sitting on the rail of the deck.
I was surprised to find them still there once I had retrieved the camera and tried to come out the sliding door quietly. So imagine my amazement when they started to move closer. They seemed curious about the clicking noise.
A bit wet and beraggled.
They often spend time in my grevilleas as their diet consists of nectar, pollen and fruit. Size-28cm
Voice-continuous screeching, chattering
Habitat- Rainforests, tropics, gardens, woodlands.
Then one of them came right over to see exactly what I was doing.
Decided he needed to shake the water out of his feathers.

What shots! These guys sometimes appear in my garden too, but never as close as that. Aren't their colours superb!
