""Hmmmm "Lori au vin" Self marinated bird on a bed of wild rice with mango chutney and avocado . - - - OK OK I know before you all start picking on me,the avocado probably clashes with chutney""

Get the BBQ going.

That is funny! I guess as long as they don't drink and drive like humans do it's ok.

I've seen them in the Palmerston markets but not drunk. They come around at late afternoon whole flocks of them & sit above the tall trees & poop down on the people below having their take-away meals. They are so noisy & raucous but a sight to see. Have taken photos of them on top of the trees but because of the fading light they were not too good & I never posted them. Not sure if I can still get to Palmerston while they are in their "drunk" state as we are about to say goodbye to Darwin & head down south.
