Don't let the size of these two little
Rainbow Lorikeets fool you, they were loudly demonstrating who is No.1 in the pecking order early yesterday morning. I took these shots at around 6.30am when the commotion they were creating caught my attention. The
White Corellas had no choice but to wait (im)patiently until given the 'all clear' to land on the seed trays.....
..and then there was Mr. Grumpy
Galah (yes, I have a soft spot for Mr. G), he wasn't waiting for any little jeweled upstarts to give him the 'go ahead' there is always seed thrown on the lawn especially for him.. I hope that you're having a wonderful weekend, it was party time for me last night, will catch up tomorrow. Take care and stay safe. p.s. check out what Bill calls 'cute' on
his dive blog, fascinating yes, cute I don't think so!!
So colourful!! Beautifully images
ReplyDeleteLot's of colours here, like them a lot!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

Ha ha, those corellas are trying so hard to appear big and intimidating, and one lorikeet says to the other "they're all bogans, you know!". [Lorikeet says this telepathically of course - he would never speak with his mouth full.]
ReplyDeleteOf course you have a soft spot for Mr G. - he's a galah and you're a human!
Oh how I wish I had these gorgeous creatures visiting my back yard.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful, colorful birds!! I love them! Those little guys don't seem to be the least bit intimidated by that BIG white bird! Hope your weekend is going well!!
ReplyDeletelittle bullies
ReplyDeleteI love lorikeets! I made a painting on these birds...good sunday, Arianna!
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine looking outside and seeing these beautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see these colored Lorri's
ReplyDeleteVery colourful!
ReplyDeleteThoes Corellas are huge!
Very wise Galah that Mr G.
ReplyDeleteIncredible birdlife, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe birds you have in your yard are amazing. I'm not sure I would see them even if I visited an aviary.
ReplyDelete(That was just to show off that I know the word aviary.)
ReplyDeleteYour environment continues to amaze. What joy ! Thank you for sharing. Please have a good Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThose are some bright fellows.
ReplyDeleteThose pesky Lorikeets have relatives over here in SA devouring my half ripe Golden Delicious apples .... If I can catch them I shall send them West ....Pronto!
ReplyDeleteMr Grumpy! he's more to my liking ..... too busy being grumpy that he doesn't know there are apples for the picking!
Wouldn't I love to see one of these land on one of my Thatched Roof Cottages :). Fantastic photos!!
ReplyDeleteGrace, the bridge in your masthead photo reminded «Louis» to invite you to participate in Sunday Bridges. «Louis» hopes the new year is off to a good start for you.
ReplyDeleteGo here for the lorikeets: http://ariarts.blogspot.it/2010/03/lorikeets.html or search tag "animali"! Bye!!
ReplyDeletei love being given the bird(s) by you.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful views you have in your yard. You travel a short distance for your birding adventures.
ReplyDeleteThese birds are remarkably beautiful, Grace. You are so fortunate to have them visit your backyard. I'd be so captivated by them I probably wouldn't get much done except watch them and take pics.
ReplyDeleteMr. G is very adorable - he reminds me of a real person I know, haha! I didn't realize the size difference between the Corellas and those lorikeets! Amazing bird captures today (and Bill's octopus was amazing:)
ReplyDeleteThe corella wings spread over the lorikeets are awesome! Like some almighty white eagle descending on some poor little critters! But those poor little critters certainly know how to stand their ground! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteThese birds are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou know I envy you everytime you post on these gorgeous visitors! :-)
