In the Saturday GM thread Dreamer said
The lorikeets Marg was talking about are Rainbow Lorikeets.
These are beautiful, aggressive (to other birds), bold (to humans) nectar feeding parrots about a foot long. They form flocks of 20 on up to 200+ birds which delight in aerobatic displays and squabbling with each other - you choose the order.
We love them but they ARE v-e-r-y noisy as they argue with each other. They love any rain and get highly excited when we get a shower. Marg says that they are like a school full of ADHD kids at a water park - hopped up on red soda!
Australia is blessed with many parrot species the lorikeets being just one group.
