They were so friendly Bb and Skillen.....at first Jim said we shouldn't really feed them, but I couldn't resist with a grape, then he fetched the honey! They went bananas but were really gentle...we put some on our fingers and they stayed most of the afternoon on the rail there..............

Hw, San and Jac I didn't know what they were till I googled them....no wonder they're called Rainbow Lorikeets...all those colours together then to watch them fly off into the trees and back again...Jim had to slide the doors too in the end as they were wanting to come inside...Lol!!

11 May, 2010
wouldn't it be amazing to be having a cuppa outside and these monkeys coming to join us...not too good if you had fruit trees though San...Lol!

How lucky you are to be able to feed such gorgeous birds.

12 May, 2010
lol janey, yes would get you down in the end,, rather have them than my pigeons though lol
12 May, 2010
Yes, me too San. Jims partner Rosa...her Dad has a farm with fig trees and the figs were just beginning to ripen when a flock of Lorikeets decided to pay him a visit...in the end he made a huge aviary and netted them feeding them every day. After a couple of weeks he harvested the figs then set the birds free.....:o))
12 May, 2010
great idea and bet they were happy, like a holiday for birds lol
