Two colourful birds sit together in a bed of leaves with white bottle-brush shaped flowers. One bird is preening the other one's head.

A colourful bird perches on a coil of ornamental green wire, the green background heavily out of focus.

Having a bummer day? Hopefully these adorable #rainbowlorikeets I saw on the #GoldCoast back in 2024 will brighten your day! #birds #birdphotography #lorikeets

Jangan mengejar unggas terbang bebas. Rawatlah kebunmu sebaik-baiknya, mereka akan datang berbondong-bondong.

A pair of rainbow lorikeets feasting on the flowers of the umbrella tree. If you look carefully you can see the bird's specialised, brush-like tongue about to dip into a flower. (the tree is Heptapleurum actinophyllum, formerly Schefflera actinophylla, for all you taxonomy masochists) (also Trichoglossus moluccanus).

Good Morning!
Breakfast...

Every year when the umbrella trees blossom the lorikeets have a party on the plentiful nectar and pollen, and they're a striking combination.

A pair of scaly-breasted lorikeets in a flowering tree, exchanging endearments. This behaviour went on for some time, very sweet...
