Wild bird Wednesday 477 - Rainbow Lorikeet

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!

    Beautiful birds!
    They 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.

    I 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.

    They do appear to be discussing the possibilities of that hole. Love the name, Lorikeets.

    What an amazing mix of colors on those birds. Related to parakeets?

    Hello Stewart, your captures of the Lorrikeets are wonderful, and what a delightful range of colour they have. They are just stunning birds.

    As 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.
