Found this pair at Ngunnawal today. Look to me like possible hybrid Rainbow/Scaly-breasted. Then I recalled a sighting of Julie Clark's last February, about half a km from where I saw these two. Could these two be the offspring of the hybrid and Rainbow Lorikeets which Julie saw last year?

Please excuse quality of the pics, very poor light, and not close enough :(
