Me too
I love them so much..
How neat!
They’re just gorgeous
Thank you
Such colorful birds. If I ever saw something like this in Chicago, it would surprise me!
We are quite blessed here with beautiful birds..
I am surprised every time you post photos of your local wild birds. Wow! They are so beautiful…we have crows
Are those parrots? Just beautiful wild parrots on your deck???
I wish that were my deck Maggie, then I would live there all the time
I am lucky though – it’s a beach house I get to spend some time in…and yes they’re wild Rainbow Lorikeets (Parrot family) on the deck…
Haha, so sweet. And I can imagine that last action surprised you! Beautifully captured.
Thank you Marion
Caught in flight! Amazing!!

Awesome example of “Surprise”!!!!
Thank you

I have a ton of photos of them Jo, I love them…and will take more this week no doubt!
So envious that you get to view these gorgeous birds on a regular basis.
I’m sorry everyone doesn’t get to Debbie, they bring such joy..we arrived at this house again today and as soon as I sat on the deck one came and sat beside me and ‘talked’ loudly in my ear
Love, love, love these birds!
Me too Cindy, I’m back at that house now enjoying their company again.
I am with Maggie on this.. WOW. So colorful.. all we have is big black crows, blue jays and chickadees
We have such a variety here Audra..I will try and snap some of the others over christmas as well
Amazingly colorful little critters, aren’t they:)

I would be surprised (my cat too)
to discover such a colored guy
near our house
(in Northern Europe with snow)
