The annual lorikeet season of beauty and gluttony

By /

Hey Lovely Bold Soul! I hope this finds you shining and well. I am scrambling with stuff, but enjoying the challenge and the sunshine.

Get your scrolling finger ready... here are heaps of photos of glorious, gluttonous rainbow lorikeets decimating our apricot crop!

They are so beautiful aren't they?

I'm ok with it really; following a Low FODMAPs diet I don't eat too much stone fruit. =P

Haha! This one's got his eye on me: ... the parrot-parazzi!

Up to his neck in an apricot:

Good shot of his (shake your) tail feathers ...

Loving teh colours in the strong Aussie sunlight. They almost glow, don't they?

If I had a totem bird it would have to be a rainbow lorikeet, so I am kinda honoured that they come each year & strip the tree screechily =)

Which leads nicely to another post, a retrospective of some of the wonders my hairdresser has created for me!

Tell us in the commens about when you had a love-hate relationship with nature. Talk soon =) Love Meg x o

PS There is no typed text in this post. Did you notice? (Haha, unless you are reading the alt text, which I completely typed!)

PS I really want to make some lorikeet art - do you think I should do a lino print or pen drawing? (I'm thinking pen).

    What gorgeous birds! I had never even heard of them before. Your pictures have added something wonderful to my rainbow palette.

    What a lovely colored bird! Between the lorikeet and the blue sky I can see why your art work is so bright and happy. Personally befriended a wild teenage skunk and named her Channel #0. She ate the cat food on our patio and I would talk to her through my bedroom window. She seemed to be okay with me and never sprayed. Not until one of our cats decided to defend his food. It took forever to get the stink out of the patio. Ugh! Have a wonderful Christmas, Nancy E.

      Hi Nancy! You’re right… I’m drawn like a magnet to bright colours!
      Thanks for your friendly/stinky skunk story – I can’t imagine!
      You have a lovely Xmas, too. (Are you on my mailing list? I am sending out a Xmas email next week!)
      Love Meg x o
