Galahs vs lorikeets

Two bossy Galahs, also known as Rose Breasted Cockatoos visit my Sydney garden. They start off eating some beautiful red Christmas Bush with a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo for company then move to the lorikeets seed bowl, much to the lori's displeasure. Note that one has black eyes and one has orange eyes, not sure why that is. Galahs are very common right around Australia. The noise you may be able to hear in the background is many thousands of male cicadas trying to attract a girlfriend!

Love the music!! BTW, the red eye is female and the dark eye is male.

Rainbow lorikeets seem dominant and bossy until you let them near a larger cockatoo. Then you find out who really rules the seed bowl! :-)

Action-packed bird drama!

I have a bunch of Lorikeets that visit my place in Sydney. Friendly bunch for wild birds. Last couple years they have been migrating north i presume for winter, this year a few of them hung around lmao

They like the free food me think :-D

Interesting, up until a year or two ago, never saw Loris in this part of Sydney. Seems to be more & more wild life from the bush pushing into all parts of Sydney now.

Nice video btw
