Someone has definitely forgotten someone’s birthday! I prefer this shot to the others , as it even shows the underwings and tongue. These birds are hard to beat for expressiveness.

Great action shot, @glennie. Is there a difference between male/female of this species? They are so beautiful. . . .and apparently noisy!

Thank you for your comments.

Linda, DNA is the only way for us to accurately determine sex in captive/pet birds. However, it seems to me that the male does a courting dance…which is quite hilarious.

Thanks Glennie. Sounds like the kind of fun I’d love to see someday.

@glennie, just watched several videos of the Lorikeets mating. Fascinating to watch. Must be something else live. Thanks for sharing them with us.
