Friendly lorikeets, friendly grandkids

.
Lorikeets fly wild down in Sydney, Australia, where my daughter's family lives.
.
The birds have started coming up to the porch and eating seeds out of the kids' hands.
.
Libby is only 8 months old but she already loves animals.

  2. Your ABC Wednesday of the Russian Orthodox Church is so clever with the brooms, buckets, bells, babushki and all. How lucky your grand children are to have these birds eating out of their hand!

    If you visit my comic blog again, choose "fugl og fisk", and birds (+fish) can give you another smile :-D

  9. How wonderful for the children! I remember Lorikeets in Australia. I had never seen birds so colorful before.
    Libby is certainly learning about wildlife at a young age!

  12. These birds are gorgeous! There is a colony of red-headed green ones here in Oeiras, but they never get that close to people. You can also find them in two areas in Lisbon, but don't ask me where all of them came from...

  15. Two lorikeet posts on the same day! Diane in Australia (Adventure before Dementia) also posted about her garden and showed us a photo of these gorgeous birds.

  16. I think it is wonderful that the kids are learning, at an early age, to appreciate wildlife. These are very colorful birds.

  17. Rare things search for something alike. May time and life continue to treat them all kind.

    Please have a good Sunday.
