Get out of it pretty boy!!

A dozen or so rainbow lorikeets put on a real show for us this morning, squabbling over the feed trays and generally behaving badly. I ended up with a mountain of really good pics of them but then down came a couple of galahs and turned the whole thing around. I think the galahs have been on angry pills over the last couple of weeks. Normally the rainbows bluff them out it but lately the galahs have had the better of them

@harbinger @jetpics @nataliejohnson22 @richardhoeg @kporte @tracelee @milaniet @lyndemc @gilbertwood @landownunder Thank you everyone for your comments and favs. I liked it too

Great action shot here. Galah 1 lorikeet 0. The galah's and lorikeets generally stay away from each other in our garden.

Great shot, surprising result, at our place the rainbows always win.

[Poppo Livy]

@onewing @tonydebont The rainbows normally win in our garden also but I think it might be more to do with whether the alpha cock/hen bird is involved. The Alpha rainbows haven't been around much lately and the galahs seem to be able to get over the other rainbows.
