I love these little guys! They have an aviary full of them in Nashville zoo & you can go in there & feed them!

Very good photography - but pleasing subjects!
JodieAtkinson
Thanks Mick. Training? No training, simply place lots of water stations around the yard and the Lorikeets take advantage of them for lots of baths. A little bit of time on our parts to keep them topped up and clean, gives us hours of entertainment :)

A great shot! How did you train them?
