Birds in my garden VI.....

There she is again, click, click, click.....!!

Technically speaking these Rainbow Lorikeets are not actually IN my garden, they're in the palm tree next door that hangs over my back garden fence, so they're sort of in my garden and  I'm claiming them for this series.....! The Rainbow Lorikeet isn't native to Western Australia, in the 1960's they  escaped from private averies and are now considered a pest by fruit growers as they fly around in large groups, landing and stripping fruit trees bare. They certainly love the palm fruit, and circle around calling out to each other 'grubs up', land and voraciously start devouring the fruit, it's quite a sight to see, they have dreadful manners and seed flies everywhere. They may be a pest, but they have such beautiful markings and certainly make for a colourful and vibrant image...
