Wish I had some of those birds here! Another great set Mike!

That is one productive tree! I have seen so many great shots with that tree as a setting. I love the colors in all of these. That lorikeet image is so pretty; great detail in all of these. Some of the poses are very cool!

Nice series of images and what a neat looking bird. I wished we had these birds here as well.

Thanks! They certainly have a lot of character. We have families of them living around our garden, so we see them a lot.

Thanks Stephen. Yeah it is a great tree for me, but unfortunately it is not a native to this area and is a bit of a pest. I have been working on getting action shots of these little fellas lately.
