Now look here....! (Alternative portrait of a grumpy Rainbow Lorikeet) 11.4.13

After taking this http://365project.org/filsie65/365/2013-04-11 I asked if I had taken a shot of his best side and he told me rather crossly that every side is his best side..!

I think the other is more fitting as a 'portrait' but thought you might like the character in this one.. and in the end decided to do both.
Thanks for calling by - mwah!

I used to own one of these and a red Lorikeet and they lived in my special ed classroom. Beautiful creatures but their voices could peel paint off walls

Cute.... I dated someone who had one as a pet... and this is how he looked at me... he HATED me... he would dive bomb and attack me. Rather common though, they attach to a main person.

I do like this one better! It looks like he's yelling at you. hehe

[Shirley Banford]

Awk! Hello Grumpy. I think he's getting ready to taste your fingers.

What a character - where did you find him Phil? I don'd think he's a Bedfordshire native - lol

[Mark Mywerds]

@mtpagano I like this Lorikeet shot better too, it shows some of his personality!

Again I wonder at the incredible colours of nature, one little bird should not have ALL these colours and be so cheeky! Lovely photo.

He's almost pecking at your lens, lucky you for being able to get so close to the action.

[Andreas]

How cool, really like the action here

[Mac]

The title and photo made me laugh aloud!

[Helge Erik Storheim]

He's vey cute and those colours are beautiful... beautiful plumage! (I seem to be in a Monty Python quoting mode today;-)

[Amy]

Oh, I love this version! He looks like such a character!

[John]

Ha ha cute n colourful.

[Bev]

Another great shot! He does look a bit peeved! LOL ... But still very pretty and great detail and you can see the look on his face! Very brave woman you are. Great job :)

My Schefflera actinophylla used to be filled with these grumpy guys, they would get drunk on the old mangoes... thank you for the memories.
