Lorikeet Pics

[Trustdace]

I recently went to a wildlife preserve in West Palm Beach, Florida for my sons 7th birhtday and boy were we in for a treat. We saw many species of birds and were able to interact with them close up and personal and of course the opportunity for good pictures came about frquently. In this pic we were in a lorikeet exhibit that contained well over 100 birds. In here you can purchase nectar in a small plastic container and as soon as you open it the birds come flying at you like crazy. I had up to 8 birds on me at once. This is probably my next pet bird. I was delighted by these small critters.B)

Wow Roger, how exciting is that, I have wanted to do just that for a long time now, too bad when I come to Florida next month I won't be able to visit this preserve but I will certainly keep it in mind for a future visit, thanks for sharing it with us.

I would love to do that! What fun, I bet your son had a blast as well. Lories sure are pretty but I wouldn't want to clean up after them...

Great photo, thanks for sharing.

That is so much fun. I got to that at our zoo in Alb. The birds were really hugry and I kept getting like 10+ at a time on me and the zoo keeper and to keep moving them off my head. It is really fun to do.
