These birds belong to the Parrot family, & are nectar eaters only. They live in Australia amongst other places, & move together in swarms.

At their Bristol zoo walk through aviary you can feed them if you want, it's a great experience. (o:

It would be a real treat to feed them, what fun! They do resemble Parrots but smaller plus the beaks and feather pattern is different. They sip from the cup so daintily
Excellent close up capture Phil of this twin beauties. Well I don't know if they are twins but they look alike...you got a real winner with these cuties

The sure are colorful. I think you would want to take it home if you let it eat almost out of your hand.
Good, clear shot Phlossie.

"Watch the birdie"! Literally. Fun shot (better than freezing your digits off with hail).

How exciting that must have been. They really are a beautiful and colourful bird. I loved our visit to Australia for 5 weeks. Fabulous image

Having a slightly smaller pet bird, I can appreciate how enjoyable it is to have them "eat out of your hand". Nice shot.
