Maybe they are kissing, or fighting over a bird seed...I don't know!

These are Lorikeets at the Cleveland Zoo.

No Jimbob, these two are truly in love with each other. Parrot pairs stay together as long as they live. When one partner dies you can see how the other one suffers - Refuses to eat, loses feathers etc. Lovely shot of the lovers.

Oh, they are sweet! No, they love each other, they are kissing, be positive. Wow, what colors! Stunning shot, Jim.

You're extraordinary on this kind of photo.
In mi side there's a side with hawks and I notice lot of photographers staying there in great calmness to take their best shots. I like your photo and appreciate your patience.

I think it is their custom to regurgitate and feed it to the other bird. It is a sign of affection. (Had parakeets before). lol Gorgeous color in the shot, Jimbob. Great moment to catch them in action too.

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.

Jimbob - 'I saw it first!' 'But, I got it first.' 'It's mine.' 'No, it's mine!' While they fight over it (that seems more palatable than Cindy's description of one lovingly barfing in the other's mouth), you captured an outstanding image. Thad

I believe Cindy's explanation for their actions. We do the same in our household as a sign of affection.

Another terrific shot of these zoo birds. I gotta get me a zoo. The detail, clarity, sharpness, crispness, focus and whatever are as always superb. You've really found a home for yourself at the zoo. I feel it's where you truly belong.

Skitzo is making me nervous JimboB.

I see this is on a fast track to the perms. I voted on it mere moments ago. How aoout them Cardinals? I know these are Lorikeets but How about them Cardinals.

Great photography.

I prefer to think they are kissing Jim. Something as beautiful as they are just has to be able to express love.

Rainbow lorikeets are very aggressive to other birds but incredibly affectionate to their mates. They are frequent visitors to my garden and I have often witnessed these moments. Well captured Jim.
