Wow... that Rainbow Lorikeet has some dark plumage on it.
My Beau doesn't look like that, she's brighter.

Beautiful pic though. I love Lorikeets.

Where's the nest? Is it at the base of a tree? (That's what it kinda looks like)
Very nice shot, clean and vivid.

you can't see it's legs because it is standing in the depression it has dug into the ground for the nest. . . when it is all the way into the hole gathering pieces to remove you can only see the tip of it's tail feathers sticking out. . . that is how far under the tree roots that it has burrowed so far. . . the hole will get filled in when they are put away for the evening & it will start all over again the next day. . . ha ha . . .they are very funny to watch as they repeat this process each day.

This is interesting, I didn't know they built their nest on the ground like that. I didn't know they burrowed under tree roots like that. I need to watch some Youtube clips of this now. Thanks for sharing! :)
