Yes, Bill's right. Ben, the same thing happens at Lane Cove (not far from
Strathfield, as the Rainbow Lorikeet flies) - similar numbers roost in
roadside trees along Burns Bay Road, including trees in the Lane Cove
Shopping Mall. The noise from the lorikeets is quite deafening as they come
into roost for the night.

Could they have been preparing to roost for the night? We see this
behaviour in Melbourne as well, and a noisy affair it is indeed!
