Wrestling Lorikeets

These two rainbow lorikeets were wrestling on the back lawn this afternoon. Quickly grabbed the camera and got a couple of shots in (on the wrong settings). By the time I changed the settings, they had stopped

The colours of these birds are so vibrant. Looks like one has the advantage here….

[Sam]

Bloody beautiful!!!!! FAV

[Jane Anderson]

This begs for captions! Give me that worm--I saw it first!

[Babs]

Brilliant, a bit of a domestic maybe, or just male rivalry.

[Denise Wood]

Or maybe just a playful fight?? Great capture :)

[Peter]

Great capture full of noise and movement Terry:)

[Pam Knowler]

Wonderful capture!!

[Graham Thresher]

Just love the colours in these birds.

[Kane Arlow]

Great action shots. It's good to see that they are not just nasty to other birds :)

[Marci Elston]

Glad you had the camera handy, you can't schedule dust-ups between party colored birds ~ they just happen. GOOD CATCH!

[Joce]

Great capture !! Things like this is hard to be ready for. Lovely colors. Fun shot !! Fav

[Susan C Clow]

Oh gosh great shot of wrestling fun. FAV

[Shirley Banford]

Awesome capture.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Play nice now, Kids! Geesh, even the wildlife gets rough with each other. Bad behavior they've likely picked up from watching humans behaving badly. You were definitely quick with the camera tho.

[Emilie Cartoun]

Wow great catch

[sally agnew]

Great catch Poppo. I often see Magpies displaying similar behaviour with their young, maybe someone needs to be taught a lesson here :)

[Kerry McCarthy]

Great catch Terry. I just love the colors of your birds!

[Tony]

beautifully timed shot.

[Milanie]

What a terrific time to be in the right spot - this is so neat! Besides their gorgeous colors, their behavior here is a riot! Love the shot.

[Sheralee S]

That's a colourful little ball of action!

[David Ortiz Jr]

Lorikeets are beautifully colored and this is a really quick, opportune capture! Nicely done, Terry.

[Natalie]

I love rainbow lorikeets, their colours always amaze me. You've captured a great moment, even if your setting were wrong!

"I'm prettier!" "No I'm prettier!" "Hey, there's that creepy human with the camera again - the one who photographs lizards!" "We're both prettier than those awful things!" "You're right - the heck with him, let's get outta here."
