Every morning, a pair of rainbow lorikeets fly up to my family home in Emerald and drop their two fledgelings off, sort of like lorikeet daycare. They mostly sit snuggled up next to each other on the veranda architrave, but occasionally hop down to eat the seed and fruit my Mum puts out for them.
Cockatoos, galahs and lots of other birds drop by too, but they’re only there for the free food and don’t give the little lorikeets any trouble.
