looking up/looking down 
Superb photos! I can almost hear the squeaking and squawking. Perhaps you know Tim Low’s book Where Song Began: Australia’s Birds and How They Changed the World – it has a fascinating chapter on parrots.
Thanks, Ian! I don’t know the book but it sounds like one I’d like. 🙂
Love ’em! The way these cheeky rainbows descend in a raucous mass is wonderful.
Hoons, I call them, Marlish! 🙂
Ha! 🙂
