Please. Can I have some more.

The first time ever today that a Scaley Breasted Lorikeet has hung around long enough for me to get a photo.
This little fellow was quite persistent and was having a quick feed when the rainbows came down and chased him off but instead of flying away, he hopped up onto the handle of the old laundry trolley and waited his chance to have a bit more. Unfortunately, he never got another go.
When we were kids, we always called these birds "Greenies"

Those rainbow Lorikeets really can be jerks.

I guess if you're that beautiful you can get a sense of entitlement :) Love love your bird shots, Terry. Fav!

How exciting! A new bird (for me). I've never seen one of these before. Thanks for catching a picture to share.

Great shot, do you get many scaly breasted lorikeets? We get hundreds of rainbow's but only have 4 scaly breasted's who call by.

Oh my goodness I have never seen one of these either, oh my, I must live a sheltered bird life :-( He is so gorgeous. Maybe he doesn't come this far South? Great photo fav :-)
