There are rainbows in my garden

Rainbow lorikeets in the garden. This pair attracted to the numerous Callistemon bottlebrushes that I've planted that were having a small, extra little flush of flowers before the end of summer.

 

These birds are feisty, self-assured characters. Bold personalities and behaviours that match their eye-catching and dynamic colours.

 

They delight us all along the east coast here in Australia. Their natural habitat being rainforest, coastal bush and woodland areas.

 

To see them flocking en masse, darting at speed across the bright blue sky is truly magical.

 

These are specifically sub-species Trichoglossus moluccanus moluccanus.

 

Around 30 cm body length.
