After three weeks away from home I have some catching up to do.
In the meantime here is one of my favourite Australian birds - the Rainbow Lorikeet. These birds are surprisingly common around my house, but they never cease to bring a smile to my face. Equally, they are very good to show to overseas visitors due to their rather remarkable colour scheme.

Nice to be welcomed home by this gorgeous bird! I certainly believe these still bring a smile no matter how often you see them..... your backyard birds are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bird. Gorgeous colors. Great pictures. I would love to have a few of those in my backyard. They are much more interesting then finches enjoy the rest of your week Stewart. I don't think I have any birdies to share.
ReplyDeleteI'm bound to say that you can't go wrong with that species Stewart. Lots of oohs and aahs with rainbow Lorikeet.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your trip. The Rainbow Lorikeet really is beautiful and your photos are excellent. Have a great week. Cheers Diane
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful bird!!! The color choice is like our Painted Buntings!
ReplyDeleteJust the thought of them brings a smile to my face. They were so common just a few short weeks ago. Now it would be incredible to see one,
ReplyDeleteLove those birds, they are so comical. Thanks for hosting and I hope you have a great week ahead Stewart
ReplyDeleteHari Om

They are beautiful! The Painted Bunting in my blog this week has the same choice of colors!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't be a more suitable name for this bird... so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous photos! Brilliant colors!
ReplyDeleteVery common around my house too!
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to find out at a Birdlife meeting a while ago that up until at least the late 80s they would have been reported as a rare bird if seen around Melbourne - crazy to think of that now!
Hello! I can guess how these birds got their name :)
ReplyDeleteLovely parrot.. beautiful images .. congratulations
ReplyDeleteAmazing colors!

ReplyDeleteRemarkable indeed
These have the same color palate as our painted buntings and they are truly striking.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightfully colorful bird! Wow! If I was a tourist there, I'd be happy to see one of those. :-)
