I don't know what happened to the last picture, i'll try again.

It only gave me 1/2 the picture so I cropped it in the center.

Do you have kakarikis where you are or are they only in New Zealand? I used to have a pair of them.... here is a picture of one of them.

The other lorikeet I think is the red lory. There are a few sub species of them, I don't know which one that is & they're an Indonesian bird.

The black cockatoos also come a a few different ones. We don't have black tails though LOL they're either red tails, yellow tails & white tails. The yellow & white tails stay around human populated areas. The red tails stay away from these areas so are harder to take photo's of.

We've got that many rainbow lorikeets in Perth it isn't funny. The bad thing about this is they aren't native to here, they're escapees & over the years have thrived in our climate. Not good for a lot of our native parrots & cockatoos because they're fighting a losing battle with the lorikeets to find & keep nesting hollows. As beautiful as they are, they aren't native to Perth & are breeding like rabbits, causing our native birds to become threatened species.

The rainbow lorikeets are also a very common pet bird in Australia. They can make awesome pets Very Happy

Hello Ronda,

Those are the Rainbow Lorikeets. They are a really cool bird. They are a necture eating bird and there tongue has a tip that has hair like things on it to suck the necture out. Ronda they are rather inexpensive also only about 400.00-500.00 but they are very messy and they have a very hard diet.


Here are some pictures of my kids feeding some in a bird avairy.


This is Joey feeding them necture

This is my daughter Jacki getting swarmed by them

They love to feed them and have them all over them. It makes for a good picture and a good time.

oh yeah they can be a major pain sometimes. For here in the west it's the rainbow lorikeets & black cockatoos that're a pain.

Hello Kim,

Beautiful pictures. I have a friend from another forum that is from the outback and tells me stories of wild Cockatoos all the time. He sent me some pictures of them feeding right in his back yard.

Here are the pictures
