We awoke to a gorgeous drizzly morning this morning, not rain unfortunately but at least a little sprinkle. In the background I could also hears birds, lots of birds. I grabbed the camera to take some snaps of these gorgeous Rainbow Lorikeets feasting on my apple trees. The apples this year have suffered and arent nearly as good as the past few years, many are sunburnt and small but the trees are laden and my guests only seem to eat the ones I cant reach anyway so we dont mind sharing. The ones that fall or get dropped on the ground are then eaten by the sheep, goats and cows so nothing goes to waste at least. Arent they pretty, the colours are just amazing!

I can't believe you have these birds where you live. We took the kids to the LA Aquarium and fed the Lorakeets. It was amazing. They landed right on us. They are beautiful birds.
