These pictures were taken last week, when it was clear - at least to these Rainbow Lorikeets (Trichoglossus moluccanus) - that spring was in the air. This pair of birds were investigating a hollow log, probably as a nesting site. I went back the next day, and unfortunately, the log was free from lorikeets.
I plan to go back soon, and have a look for this couple!

ReplyDelete&*> Definitely a debate going on there. "But Mildred, we need space for my mancave!" YAM xx
How exciting to see such beauties in nature!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteThey do seem to be having a discussion about where to live!
Stunning colors. Our Painted Bunting has nearly the same palate, but arranged much differently than the lorikeets.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy to see once again these lorikeet. They give me a smile.
ReplyDeleteCheers and have a a nice day in Autralia
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI can never get enough of these birds. When I first saw them in Australia I just couldn't get over their colourful plumage. Perfectly named.
ReplyDeleteThey do appear to be discussing the possibilities of that hole. Love the name, Lorikeets.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing mix of colors on those birds. Related to parakeets?
ReplyDeleteThey have got to be the most colorful birds on the planet, Stewart!!!...jp
ReplyDeleteHello Stewart, your captures of the Lorrikeets are wonderful, and what a delightful range of colour they have. They are just stunning birds.
ReplyDeleteAs usual I tried to add my post. Blue Tits, is the title, but couldn't do it. Please would you add my link for me. I'm so sorry, but mine was refused.
So pretty! I wonder what they are saying.
ReplyDeleteJust when you think nature can't be more beautiful, you see a Rainbow Lorikeet! Terrific images, Stewart.
ReplyDeleteHope you're coping okay.
Just spectacular! I don't see birds like this where I live - what a treat!
