Re: Rare lorikeets?????

Scaly Breasted Lorikeets as well as Musk and Rainbow were regulars at a
feeder at the Mowle Village at Castle Hill for many years. The lady who
used to feed the birds stopped and they must have gone elsewhere, but
where? I would like to know a regular spot for them. I have seen them
occasionally in the trees near the entrance to Cumberland State Forest too.
