These are the cheekiest little birds ever. They usually come flying over to the house from the trees at the back of our house and perch themselves on the shade sail directly above the kitchen window each morning as soon as they hear human sounds - the kettle beginning to heat, water running from the sink or even just us moving back and forth being busy with breakfast or coffee.
How could you be anything but cheerful when they poke their brightly coloured heads over the side of the sail and chirp and chitter making sure we know they are wanting their scraps of bread?
I managed to catch one a few days ago with my camera beginning to fly off the sail - it was unfortunate that I wasn't able to capture the wings totally but I did get a glimpse of the brilliant colours - no wonder they are called Rainbow Lorikeets. God's wonderful handiwork!
Blessings!

The're such pretty birds, my boss actually breeds them :-)
I loved your post. Some time ago, I had the pleasure of visiting beautiful Australia. I remember we saw some of these birds. You have so much beauty there. Too, I appreciate your dropping by my post.
What beautiful birds! Your photos certainly captured their colors! Hope you're having a great weekend. ((Hugs))
