Rainbow Lorikeets

The Rainbow Lorikeet was the first Australian parrot to be illustrated in colour - in Peter Brown's 'New Illustrations of Zoology' in 1774. Since then, this gaudy parrot has been found to be the most widespread of Lorikeets. It is a blossom feeder, harvesting nectar and pollen from any nectar-bearing plant that it finds.

Can't wait to see your snowflakes Erv (I'm not familiar with American speak) so I assume that you mean 'snowflakes' as in snow, which will be fabulous for me to see as we don't get see snow here in the tropics. Brian lol :oops:
