Hi Carole Another one of my favorite birds, probably because when my daughter and family lived in Sydney, my grandson who was about 3 loved 2 of these birds that came to our veranda every day. we called them Sukie and Polly and they fed from our hands. Have a great weekend. Margaret

I remember the first time I saw one of these birds - I thought that somebody was having a joke - how can anything be that bright!

Now I have them in my garden!

I am just in awe to think that this is not some rare bird. It seems so exotic to me...and it is so beautiful. Lovely pictures.
