"Are you talking about me?"
Rainbow Lorikeets in my backyard in Hazelbrook, NSW.
Wouldn’t it be interesting to know what these guys were talking about…..

Don’t be overly paranoid wondering if these brightly coloured fellows are talking about you in front of your back Mr B.
Love the bold, bright, crisp, clear colours on these chaps which stand out prominently in the crystal clear focus against the subdued soft background.
Andrew Bosman replied
I reckon the two on the right were talking about me….
One’s whispering to the other: “See the dork with the black box pointed at us? I hope he didn’t pay for that haircut cause if he did he should ask for his money back!”
No, I’m not paranoid at all!
Thanks Mr C.

Wow…now that is a gathering. I get a few, but not as many as this.

Who knows…???
I was doing Tai Chi under a huge tree the other day and all these parrots were making heaps of noise and chatting like that….I think they thought I was their entertainment….and like you wondered what they were talking about….lol

LOL probably about the galahs up the back… nice shot Boz, they are beautiful :-)
Rhana Griffin
I think they were likely saying “hey… see that two legged non-flyer over there? I dare you to go and drop a bomb on his black box”
Gorgeous riot of colour Boz :)
Lisa Hewitt

Samantha Van S...

Julie Langford
Wow – I want a back yard just like yours. Fantastic!

One of them seem to be saying “He’s got the seeds, pass it on”. Great shot andrew, shame you dont have audio for the sound of the lorikeets.
Lisa Jewell
Oh to be that colourful…....
Beautiful capture, apart from the subject matter, I love the light…...
bodymechanic
great shot, be thankful it’s not cockatoo’s!
Andrew Bosman replied
If they were cockies I would have pulled out the shotie not the Canon.
Just kidding.
Sharon Hammond

How cool to have this vibrancy in your yard- I’m so envious! Beautiful shot
Mel Brackstone
Do they talk? I thought they all scream….all the time ;) Like a gaggle of drunk teenagers, especially at this time of year when the nectar is plentiful! Love the DOF here Boz….gorgeous specular highlights too.
Andrew Bosman replied
Thanks Mel.
These buggers would have to be the bossiest bird we get. We have a pair that visit regularly and while one is feeding the other stands guard and chases away all and sundry and then they switch rolls! Sometimes I think I should have shot them with a different type of canon…..
Alex Stojan
Great capture of some very beautiful birds! I used to love shooting them (with camera of course) out at our place at Glenmaggie…
Steve Bullock
Gorgeous, add this to the Australian Wildlife group!
Craig Shadbolt
I think you captured a drug deal in progress. That lorikeet looks like he was showing off his wares to the others!
Great capture mate.
Andrew Bosman replied
Bloody hell Shaddy, I was drinking a cup of coffee when I read your comment and nearly spat it all over my keyboard… VERY funny and very fitting for these rogues, I could imagine them as drug lords!
andrew cowell

“I can’t possibly be talking about you, my mouth is full of my own feathers! Silly bird.” Wonderful shot of these gorgeously coloured natives. They stand out so well against your soft background, and the details and colours are crisp and bright.
