Yesterday we had a family of Rainbow Lorikeets including two young come to our feeder. This is the first time we have seen juvenile Rainbow Lorikeets, they are the ones with the darker beak.
Typical young are always squawking at mum and dad.
Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus haematodus)
For more birds visit Wild Bird Wednesday.

Great photos and very interesting to see the juvenile interacting with the adults.
Quite exotic guests :-))
Beautiful birds! I've never seen the juveniles, those dark beaks really make them look different!
Loved the video and it is interesting to see that they have most of the adult colured plumage already
We get a lot of these noisy but beautiful creatures - especially as our fruit is ripening!! I haven't seen the juveniles beore. Must keep an eye out.
I've enjoyed feeding lorikeets nectar in an enclosure at the zoo, but to have them as visitors must be incredible! Love your photos and video!
The Lorikeets are so pretty, lovely photos and video!
Well named. They are beautiful.
I do love Rainbow Lorikeets! I need a feeder for our yard to encourage more birds to visit!
