I've been trying to get close enought to one of these beauties to take an decent image for months now. Today was my lucky day. The Rainbow Lorikeet is widespread throughout the forests of Eastern Australia and South Australia and is also a common in urban areas. It feeds on nectar and pollen and is oblivious to almost everything else whilst feasting. This is how I was able to get in close for the photo. Some trivia for you, in 1774, the Rainbow Lorikeet was the first Australian bird ever to be illustrated in colour!
