These birds had found a small hole in a tree trunk and were having a ball climbing all around it. They just happened to be next to us as we had lunch in a park in Nedlands

Smoko
by Steve SassMusk Lorikeets Glossopsitta concinna are widespread across south-eastern Australia and are found within forests and woodlands dominated by eucalypts. They are often not seen as they live up in the canopy, rarely coming down to eye level. However, they are known to ‘raid’ suburban parks and gardens. These ‘comedians’ were photographed in captivity where they were tempted down to the camera with some sweet apple. For better viewing click on ‘view larger’.

The lorikeets were very obliging the other morning, and generously posed for me.

Although I took this at Taronga Zoo, Sydney, it is not actually a zoo bird – it’s a blow-in from the wild looking for easy pickings. One of Australia’s most beautiful and recognisable parrots, the Rainbow Lorikeet is fairly small, very fast in the air, and gathers in large, raucous flocks (ask anyone who has been to Cairns City at night!). They are not native to Western Australia but there is now an established population there, courtesy (or so I am reliably informed) of well-meaning but mis-guided people who released them from captivity believing they were doing a good thing. Unfortunately, these birds, attractive though they are, compete a bit too successfully with adverse effect to the local species.

Musk Lorikeet / Scientific name: Glossopsitta concinna / Family: Psittacidae / Order: Psittaciformes / Description / The Musk Lorikeet is a medium-sized, sturdy lorikeet, sometimes seen in large flocks when trees are flowering and often in mixed flocks with other parrots and other birds. They are active and noisy. This lorikeet is mostly green, with a yellow patch at the side of the breast. It has a bright red forehead and band through the eye to the ear coverts. The crown is blue, with females having less blue than males. In flight, brown flight feathers and the golden tail are revealed. Flight is fast and direct, with short angular wings and a medium-length, pointed to wedge-shaped tail. / Distribution / Musk Lorikeets are endemic to (only found in) south-eastern Australia, being widespread in eastern New South Wales, all regions of Victoria and in the south-east of South Australia. / Habitat / Musk Lorikeets are found in tall, open, dry forest and woodlands, dominated by eucalypts and are usually found in the canopy. They are also seen in suburban areas, parks and street trees. They roost or loaf in tall trees away from their feeding sites. / Seasonal movements / They are considered nomadic, following the flowering or fruiting of food trees and they travel widely for food. / Feeding / Musk Lorikeets feed in all levels of the canopy and are very active when foraging. They eat mainly pollen and nectar from eucalypts using their specialised brush-tipped tongues, but also eat seeds, fruits and insects and their larvae. / Breeding / Musk Lorikeets breed in hollow branches and holes in living eucalypts, often near watercourses. The entrance holes are usually very small, so they have to squeeze in. Eggs are laid on a base of chewed or decayed wood. The female incubate the eggs and both parents roost in the hollow at night. /

I was at Mount Barker on the weekend 6/12/09 in South Australia where my cousins live now, and I captured these beautiful parrots feeding off their balcony. They come there every day and get a good feed. It is wonderful to see. You can even get quite close to them as they know this house very well and the humanoids that live there lol. /
