  • Rainbow Lorikeet

    My wife went to visit the lady over the road and all of a sudden I get a call from her.
    She told me there is big bird in the tree that hangs into the ones she was visiting backyard.
    So as you do I took the camera to get a shot of this large bird.
    When I got there they told me it has been hanging around for more than a day.

    So I began to think that this might be and escaped Eclectus, as I have got shot of one a few years ago that had escaped.
    If you are wondering how I know they have escaped or how it had. These are far more north that here.
    This bird did me no favours in getting a shot.
    So I set the camera to continuous mode.

    And these are a few of the better ones I got of it.
    Please take note of the top beak as to me I am sure it hasn't had the right material to chew on to keep it where is should be.
    But I would think it might get trimmed if it is not caught as it will work that far more. Well I can hope. Click image for larger version

    Who is a pretty boy than? Lovely colours on this magnificent bird.
    Better a full bottle in front of me
    than a full frontal lobotomy.

      I'm pretty sure this is a Rainbow Lorikeet Arthur. The Eclectus male is mostly green and the female has a bright red head with black beak. Lovely photos and plenty of bright colours.
      I have posted a long time ago some Parrot Portraits HERE which shows an Eclectus (Male).

      My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

        I actually have it down as a Rainbow Lorikeet and not a Eclectus.
        I made mention of a Ecelectus as a few years ago I got some shots of one that had escaped.

          Cheers Arthur. After reading your story I forgot what the title was - silly me!

        Not to worry It was an easy mistake.
        The actual Eclectus was a red one and stood out in the green leafs of the tree it was in.
