But they can be noisy.

aussiegall says:

Thanks for all your wonderful comments and invites. Yes, I agree they can be rather noisy. In summer we get woken up quite early by their constant racket outside the window but I dont mind, I couldnt think of a better alarm clock to have.

I went to the zoo here and saw one of these guys in a cage. Quite a sad sight as I'm used to seeing them flying around outside. A beautiful shot.

Ya know ..... I have been trying to entice these little buggers down to my back garden for months and finally I got one today .... got my 5D, my 400mm ..... snuck up ...... and botched it. Not sure if I will upload the results cos they are a bit blurry.

Very VERY envious, aussiegall.

I've also got a "couple"- (boyfriend & girlfriend;-)) of Lorikeets that visit everyday for some breakfast. Messy and noisy but I'm so glad they honour me with their visits:-) Check out my pic!!
