The Australian Rainbow Lorikeet

The Rainbow Lorikeet, (Trichoglossus haematodus), inhabits rainforest, coastal woodlands and bush areas. They feed mainly on fruit and nectar and have a unique brush tongue to more easily collect nectar and pollen from flowers. Here, he uses that tongue to drink a sweet syrup and soaked bread mixture.

Now that Spring has arrived, there's plenty of activity in my back garden, in and around the bird feeder.
