So pleased you like my wet weather visitors, they are Rainbow Lorikeets. They are funny, playful little birds. #4765383

WOW, what a beautiful capture Chris. Beautiful color and comp.
I just love parrot's, used to have 5 of them and a cockatoo, plus doves, parakeets and cockatiels. I raisied them and sold them, the parakeets and doves anyway. Was fun trying to see what color's I could get out of them by matchng them up with diferent partner's all the time.
Are these guys at your house or in a park? SUPER!!! #4768854

Wonderful, Chris!
We certainly don't have Lorikeets around here...except in the zoo!
(Are you from Australia, perhaps?)
Thanks for sharing this lovely capture!

I love this. It has everything. design and pattern of the bricks, the lush and colorful green of the plants, and the birds seem to be having a wonderful time. Excellent composition and clarity and color.

WOW! It would be great to see these beautiful birds flying free! The only way we see these lorikeets or parrots is go to the pet store or the zoo. So sad to see them caged up. Love this capture! #4833646

Chris Ebben September 24, 2007

Thanks a lot. I agree, it is sad to see them locked up, they have such a good time flying around & climbing in the trees. They are all out there now!!! #4839297
