I'm not sure if I have the spelling correct. I took this photo at the San Antonio Zoo. I had only had my camera about 2 weeks and this was my first "RAW" pic ever! These were the most beautiful birds! It is a "Lorie" or is it spelled "Lori"? Anyway you spell it, it's gorgeous!

It's a Rainbow Lorikeet, and they are extremely beautiful birds, and are native down under. Noisy buggers too! :)

Extremely noisy, but full of character (as well as colour!). I enjoy having these birds around at work at the moment. It's great to go outside and hear them chatting away to each other and see them drinking nectar from the gumnuts. And they don't seem to mind people walking right up to them.


Currently just a P&S, but watch this space.
