Glossopsitta concinna
These musk lorikeets seemed to be getting pretty cosy! Shot two shows them 'kissing' - they were doing this a lot, I figured one was feeding the other but it seems like strange behaviour for two adults...? In shot 5 they ramped up the cuteness for the camera. I was lucky to spot them - they blended into the foliage very well and I was actually standing right under them when I heard them burbling quietly to each other. Seen in the free flight aviary at Tamworth Marsupial Park.

Lovely series,
wow! nice shots for those perfect match
Good! they for sure take good care of their couple :-)
Thank you! They are a lovely pair (with no one to come between them, Marta)! : )
lovely shot!
Well, I have a sun conure pet and not only she does not stop kissing me but she also gets jealous when I kiss my boyfriend and tries to get in between! so maybe kissing is not so strange between parrots after all :-)
