Local Friendly Lorikeets

[uching]

i live in a 3rd story apartment, these guys love to sit in vast numbers on my window sills and shreek whilst my cat jumps from one closed window to the next trying to get at one, or she just sits there chittering in frustration,

these lorikeets are smart they know it drives her crazy to see them there and they know she can't get to them either so they have enormous fun at my poor cats expense, they are beautiful, though.

@jtpfreak

lol those birds fly there around? lovebirds are from australia to right? do you see them fly around? thats friggin cool:D

[jaime1288]

what are you feeding those birds. Hope to god it's not bread or seeds!!! Only feed them fruit or pollen/nectar powder!!!!!

[BigmouthAussie]

@jaime1288 Why? 

[dharmabird67]

@BigmouthAussie I don't know if seed/bread is harmful to them but in the wild they eat fruit and nectar. Unlike most parrots they have a brush-like tongue - this is true for all lories and lorikeets. Pet stores sell special food for lories.

[coyotx]

so cute, can you keep them as pets?

I mix bread crumbs with caster sugar and it is a big hit with the lorikeets

[stripedsockscat]

They're very cute.

[kmiTVsooGood]

[Paxmax]

I almost shat my pants the first time I encounterd a hummingbird in the wild.

I thought it was some freakin huge flying cockroach flitting by!! I was about to smack it away! In Sweden it's only flying insects that make a noise that resembles a hummingbird.

[jtpfreak]

The first time i heard a flock of Cockatoos over head i thought the world was coming to an end

[jtpfreak]

Thanks. Yeah i get these birds on our back deck all the time. Lots of other birds too. Cockatoos & King Parrots. It's really nice. Yeah my videos were getting too weird. I needed a weird break. That just means i will probably be more mental in a week or two from now
