----------------------------------
Lorikeets & Lories

The parrots in the family Loriinae are known for their unusual brush-tipped tongues. These birds feed upon pollen, nectar and fruits, while inadvertently pollinating the flowers of the trees on which they feed.

The family Loriinae is usually divided into two classes of birds, lories and lorikeets. Lories are larger, heavier-bodied birds with squared-off tails. Lorikeets are more slender, with longer, tapering tails. All lories and lorikeets are quite beautiful; most species have brightly colored, glossy feathers in rainbow hues, with coral-red beaks. The curiosity and playfulness of lories, combined with their exotic colors, make them quite desirable as pets.

Wild lories and lorikeets spend their days climbing, hopping and hanging upside down while feeding from flowers. Pet lories, just as active, must have large, roomy cages filled with hanging toys and "foot" toys. They cannot be kept on open t-stands, even with clipped wings, because the birds can hop quite a distance. A clipped wing is useful in training a new bird, however. Even with fully regrown flight feathers, a pet lory will prefer to hang onto its owner.

Hi Mike.
You have created a very colourful and beautiful portrait of this cute bird. The pose and POV are perfect. Colours, sharpness and details of the bird are extremely well. Blurriness and colours og the BG are perfect (some noise leaves really enough simply). Perfect done and TFS.
Alexei.

This is a wonderful composition. I like it a lot. The richness of the colours is beautiful.
