Thank You Egret.  These were truly beautiful and colourful birds.  At one point, had Red Lory, Rainbow Lory and Black-capped Lory all over my hand, head, shoulders, etc.  :D

Moira ... Thank You for your posting.

It was a thrilling experience having these beauties sitting on my hand and "going to town" on the apple pieces - couldn't believe how fast they were eating them!  :D

Great shots!  What's that saying about a bird in the hand?  Ha ha...

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.
