I have had the pleasure of sharing
the small yellow coloured cherry plum fruits of
the large tree in our back yard with up to forty musk
lorikeets at a time , over the last 3-4 days
they drop in mainly in the
morning and seem to disappear for the heat of the day(although it has
cooled down for today ).A few shelter in pairs in shady trees
up high around the place .
I didn't notice them last year so
its a pleasant change .If they are disturbed they take off in a noisy
flock some individuals struggle to get air born dipping down close
to the ground before regaining altitude .
One poor individual was hit by
a car he dropped so low although the place in the tree
he took of from was 4-5 meters high
Does any one know which areas they breed
in ?
No doubt the rainbows will follow as the apples
ripen
cheers Ian
