@martinfeld @jayeless @odd @Miraz Sometimes I forget how lucky us Aussies are to have so many parrots in the wild. I remember several years ago, a friend of mine who moved to Europe brought his then-girlfriend-now-fiancée, who grew up in Spain and was living in the UK, to stay with us at Phillip Island for a weekend. We were going for a walk and some rainbow lorikeets flew by. This is such a common sight to me that I didn't think twice of it, but she took notice and remarked on how beautiful they were.
@lmika You’re right, we do take it for granted a bit. Rainbow lorikeets also have to be some of the cheekiest birds here! Nice memory, thanks for sharing it. 👍
@martinfeld Have you ever seen the documentary The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill? One of my all-time favorites.
@martinfeld I own via Amazon video. It’s also available as a DVD on Amazon US. Not in Australia?
@jean There you go! Thanks for that. I couldn’t find anything digital but the DVD link works for Australia. 👍
@jean Noted!!! Thanks again.
