Trichoglossus haematodus
This pair of rainbow lorkeets were getting cosy on a rainy afternoon in my garden.
Rainforests, city parks and gardens in the Greater Brisbane region.
These birds often visit my garden and I have included a video of a courting pair. The video is not high quality as it was a rare moment of grabbing whatever I could put my hands on to quickly record the action. The female does not seem the least bit interested and she gives a whole new meaning to kick boxing! The male lorikeet is hilarious as he struts his stuff!
Lat: -27.52, Long: 153.22

I love this photo! Is there anyway I could get a print of this? I am moving in with my fiance soon and this would be a stellar picture to hang in our new bedroom. I've always loved parrots and something like this will brighten my morning, every morning. Please let me know!
I think this one should be the winner of the 2011 best wildlife photo contest
The video is too funny! And the photo is amazing :)

That's true love.
Lovely videos.
But the male caught no attention from the female.
Maybe he should bring diamond ring instead of food. :p
They really love each other
