Urban Lorikeets
Twilight in my backyard is crazy busy:
The local Rainbow Lorikeets LOVE the big tree in our backyard. I usually hate the tree because at this time of year it drops so many seeds that it looks like snow in my backyard. If it’s not dropping seeds, it’s dropping horrible flowers or blocking our sewerage pipes.
But now that I’ve realised that I’ve got native birds in my backyard (and not just sparrows), I’m taking the time to stop and watch the lorikeets hang out and have their dinner.
Lorikeets are noisy buggers, always yacking while they make it snow.
Pretty impressive for my concrete backyard!
My SD card is chockas with blurry lorikeet photos! Think I need to get me a monopod….
yay for backyard birdies :) I get lots of little finches at the moment. Actually they’re wrens, I’m told. Got the cockatoos at our old place murdering our apple tree
i love cockatoos but they’re so squawky and destructive, gimme wrens and rainbow lorikeets any day :)
[...] It’s worse this year because of the Lorikeets. [...]
