New Friends for Big Bear
 
 
 
 
 
 
In Coral World is Lorikeet Garden, an aviary with a dozen or so Australian Lorikeets
 
 
 
 
These little chaps have gorgeous plumage
 
 
     
 
 
Bear spotted the only red and went to work on his bird-whispering skills
 
 
 
The rest of us watched with interest
 
 
 
  
 
So far so good
 
 
 
 
 
Now Bear manages to get close and personal - stealing some strokes
 
 
    
 
 
Meanwhile others are closing in for attention. Bear thought the red one had had enough but no...............
 
 
 
 
 
 
    
 
...........He had something else in mind
 
 
 
 
After lunch and a mooch around the rest of the park, we returned and bought a $3 pot of nectar so Bear to feed his new friends
 
 
 
 
Bear told me he had never had birds all over him like this - No comment
 
 
  
 
 
Was this a luuurve thing, clearly not.
 
 
 
 
The Lorikeets went at the nectar like a man in the desert goes at an oasis - apparently we are going to get one when we reach Indonesia
 
 
 
 
But you can only have one favourite.
 
 
 
 
ALL IN ALL A REALLY ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE
                      AWESOME
