Parrots
It's that time of year and the King Parrots have been visiting our Chinese Elm to eat the seeds. They come in family groups and hang all over the tree: sideways; upside down; inside out (well, not really). The photo doesn't really do this guy justice. He is almost orange on his head and front, and fantastically emerald green on ihs back and wings, with blue under his wings. And he is huge. They have a single note whistle and they chat to each other in parrot all the time. I love watching them feeding, there's something relaxing watching groups of birds hanging out.
