Description As the keeper entered the aviary, the air filled with the shrill cry of a dozen rainbow lorikeets, all looking for a tasty meal.

Red-collared Lorikeets Trichoglossus haematodus rubritorquis, at feed-time at the Adelaide Zoo. Taken on 31st July 2006.

I can only imagine how annoying that would be, despite their beautiful colours. We used to get possums in our peach tree, they would eat it just before it was ripe enough to pick, the little buggers Then they even had the nerve to fall asleep in it afterwards, they're still cute though!

Thanks

What a great shot I loved watching these birds when we lived in Sydney a few years ago...little rascals they are. You've captured them very well, look at the lovely feather patterns...aw...

Thanks so much Temba! ^^ Really appreciate it. Glad you like it And if they'll let you near their food I'm sure you could... though the keeper says they have a rather nasty bite
