Day 58: Ruffling a few feathers

Day 58: ...showing who is the boss.

Yes, another early call today. And yes, it is the birds again. I do leave seeds out for the lorikeets, the parrots and the other assorted birds but only when the other natural food sources aren't available. I wouldn't like them to become too dependent on the birdseed. 

Right now, the neighbourhood palms are in full bloom and the loris flock there anyway (leaving the seed for the possum later in the day). For a few days, just one lorikeet has had this one to itself but this morning the flowers were discovered by some of the others...and then it was full...and then, well, then the hierarchy kicked in. 

Mine, all mine...

So much to choose from

This little rascally green parrot, about two-thirds the size of its lorikeet brothers and sisters, decided the tumble of flowers and seeds was 'mine, all mine...mwhahaha'. 

I have another day in the city coming up, I don't reckon I'll get a better pic today, though there are sure to be feathers ruffled...
