Macro Friday, Mellow Yellow Monday & Blue Monday

These wild Lorakeets were feeding on a feast of sunflower seeds on the driveway. Over 45 came every evening, along with a couple of Rozellas, Pigeons and some cheeky Cockatoos. They were amazing to feed and amazing to photograph too.

I'm linking up to Macro Friday, Mellow Yellow Monday and Blue Monday.

    That is too cool that you got them that close without them flying off. Awesome job =)

    Lucky you to have such colorful birds outside. I saw Rainbow Lorikeets at the Cincinnati Zoo, Ohio, USA. Fell in love with them and was looking to get one as a pet. I ended up with a cockatiel, Hamlin, and no regrets.
    I love your picture.

    This bright flock is a feast for the eyes!


    A TOUCH OF THE GOLD

    They say just a touch of the gold
    Will make even timid ones bold;
    Try yellow, not blue,
    And bright amber too—
    And don’t be left out in the cold!
