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
