Love to all of you ღ
These are very beautiful birds Cindy…but the noise, they like to party 😂 🤣
I know! It’s not only their out of control parties, it’s the fact that they aren’t drinking, but act as if they were! 😉
Aren’t they fabulous! Did you by any chance go to Port Douglas? The lorikeets gather to roost in a line of trees on a boulevard down the middle of the Main Street. Go there at dusk – there are thousands of them and the noise is deafening. So cool!
Alison
Yes. They are FABULOUS! And no, I didn’t got to Main Street. Of course now I want to, a lot. I would never have left Oz, if it weren’t weren’t for my children at home. Oz’s birds and I understand each other. Love to you Alison. ღ
We have that happen along our beachfront on the Gold Coast too. Truly deafening and whatever you do do not walk under those trees at dusk….
I wish I was there დ
Oh my goodness! How pretty!

Thank you my friend and stay hopeful and safe ღ
Oh Cindy, I do adore our Colourful Lorikeet’s. they are frequent flyers in my Geelong area, they always bring me smile…..xx 🦜🦜🧡💛💚💙🌏🌏
They are happiness on wings! Lucky you ❧ ❧
Yes indeed….
Wow! Nature in its diversity is so amazing. 🙂
Precious beyond words! ❧
Absolutely lovely!
All thanks to Mother Nature ❧
What a fun montage you have shared with us! Stunning colors and near perfect clarity in this set of images. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you more for your kind appreciation & cheers! ❧
What a beautiful – and cheerful – surprise!
Yaay! We need good surprises these days ❧
Gorgeous post!
Merci beaucoup mon ami ❧
Wow. Beautiful. All four primary colors! 😉
They are such happy creatures too! ❧
Like a box of Crayola Crayons….blended together perfectly.
Thanks for the colors of happiness!
Yes! Mother Nature rocks her colors with the birdies ❧
Gorgeous clicks.🙂
Awww, thank you! ❧
They’re spectacular. Thanks for bringing some cheer.
You are most welcome & cheers!! ❧
Cheers!
♡´･ᴗ･`♡
Fantastic photos of such wonderfully colourful birds
Thank you for your thoughtful words Sheree & take good care ❧
Thanks, you too Cindy
❧ ❧ ❧
These are such remarkable birds, Cindy! Your third photo brings out a very interesting trait about the parrot line of birds. At first, it looks as if the lorikeet has lost a toe on each foot, as we are used to see three forward-facing toes and one facing backward. But parrots and their kin have two forward- and two backward-facing toes; this is called a zygodactyl arrangement, and it is especially beneficial to them with all their perching needs and for using their feet to manipulate seeds and other food and, of course, to play with objects that amuse them. High four?!
Hi Cindy,
I agree with krikitarts! Thank you for featuring my colourful avian friends.
Happy April to you and krikitarts!
How interesting! I didn’t know that.
And pick things up and chew them too! I am in love with parrots. Thanks for the fascinating info and adding to my knowledge of them! ❧
What colourful, cheery birds! Beautiful!
They are flying happiness! ❧
That phrase suits them perfectly!
Adorable
Grazie mille ❧
Reblogged this on Musings on Life & Experience and commented:
Pictures of Lorikeets from Cindy Knoke. They’re flying rainbows.
Hugs and thank you sweet friend & stay safe ❧
How wonderful Cindy… happy days to toy, much love Barbara x
Thanks so much Barbara & cheers back to you! ❧
Don´t they just brighten your day!! We have parakeets here and I love the splash of green they display as they fly past and land in a tree in front of us.
I would so love to meet them! ❧
How very beautiful they are. Real living rainbows. Stay well.
You too my friend & thank you! ❧
We are so lucky to have mum, dad and 2 teenage lorikeets join us for breakfast every morning. Jack makes them a saucer of honey and warm water and it is lovely to watch their little knobbly tongues make short work of the offering. Then the 2 youngsters harass mum and dad with their squeaky demands for feeding till finally the 2 adults regurgitate their meal into the babies mouth. Fascinating to watch. Hope all is well at the Hollow Cindy
Birdie parents are so selfless and hard working and they have such demanding children!! 😉 I so envy you and Jack and your birdie friends. Stay safe and well Pauline ❧
We find watching our bird friends fascinating, they are certainly not “bird brained”
They certainly are not, and they love people watching too! ❧
Yes the 25th falls on Saturday this year
A mathematical conundrum and interetsing too <3
liebe Cindy, super gut, wünsche dir einen entspannten Sonntag, Klaus
Vielen dank mein lieber Freund Klaus und frohe Woche! ❧
vielen dank dafür
❧ ❧ ❧
vielen dank
Gern geschehen დ
Wow, was für schöne Prachtskerle! Tolle Fotos Cindy, Klasse. Liebe Grüsse Ernst
Awww, vielen Dank mein lieber Freund und bleib sicher und gesund! ❧
Have a great day all
Visa versa 2UX2! ❧
Thank you
I adore lorikeets. At the dog park today, a flock of them were squabbling with noisy mynas, who in turn were chased by doves.
Paradise on wings!!! ❧
Great shots Cindy.
I wish I could see all your posts but I have to go back and re-follow each time so I may miss them from now on.
I miss you, but it is wonderful to hear from you when you do stop by. This happens to me too, a lot and it is very frustrating, so I understand. Stay safe and well Eunice ❧
wow, how beautiful and i’d love to see these
It is truly a treat when they land on your head!!! ❧
I’m happy to start my day with flying rainbows!
Oh good! I’m happy they brightened your day ❧
In a big way! I love how you’re able to capture the expressiveness of birds’ faces.
Awww, thank you for noticing Liz ❧
Thank you, Cindy! Your bird photographs always brighten my day.

What stunning birds. Wow!
The world is chock full of beautiful surprises! Stay well my friend ❧
Magnificent birds. The group shot is something else.
Hi Cindy. Be well.

Hi Neil. Thank you & you stay safe too my friend ❧
Lovely photos! Thank you for sharing these with us 🌺 🌺 🌺
Thank you more for appreciating them! ❧
Oh, they are so beautiful! They brighten up my day!
Have a fine sunday, dear Cindy!
Your comment just brightened mine! Thank you ❧
What incredible birds!
They are wonderful and so friendly! ❧
Good morning, hope you are well. These are some of the most beautiful photos I have seen. Where were they taken?
These were taken in Australia which truly does have the most amazing birds! Thank you so much for your kind words ❧
Absolutely spectacular x
Grazie mille! ❧
You’re so very welcome!
<3
If it were not your pictures I thought it is painting not photography. I am not tiered to be surprised of Nature Art. How is it possible to colour the birds so amazing?!
I have no idea how such beauty could ever be created. It is Nature’s amazing miracles. Stay safe my friend ❧
How could one not be cheered just by the sheer beauty of those tiny creatures alone! Wishing you and yours peace and wellness.
Thank you Linda. You are a kind friend. Peace and blessings back to you ❧
What a glorious bird, imagine my surprise when I saw the photo of so many of them! Wonderful.
I tend to focus on individual birds, but one of the most truly amazing sights in Australia, which happens so often, are huge flocks of these amazingly colored and very vocal parrots and cockatoos flying by. It thrills me every time I experience it. Take good care & thank you Emma ❧
I can well imagine its thrilling to see a flock of these amazing birds!
Yes, to see and hear them is incredible! ❧
Thank you for showing us hope through these amazing flying rainbows. Sending you bear hugs this lovely Sunday! ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ Stay safe, happy & healthy, my friend.
You are such a lovely friend and always make me smile. Take good care ❧

Beautiful, sassy looking birds.
They are sassy and quite friendly. They tend to land on my head and my camera, neither of which I can get a shot of!! ❧
Oh so fun to be surrounded by rainbow lorikeets, Cindy. Thank you and rainbows back at you!
Who needs a pot of gold with rainbows like these!! Well….a pot of gold would be nice 😉 ❧
Beautifully captured, as always! I love the title, Cindy! 🙂 <3
Thank you Amy & cheers to you my friend ❧
Superb photos of these lovely Rainbow Lorikeets. Did you notice how much noise they made?
Oh yes!!! But not quite as loud as the cockatoos! Parrots are not exactly quiet little birdies are they!!! 😉 ❧
They are so beautiful, Cindy, I don’t mind if they come to picnic with us…MOL…😸Clean Pawkisses for a Happy Sunday. Stay Safe Heathy and Yourselfie🙏🐾😽💞

Beautiful birds!
What beauties!! They look like sparkling gemstones of a precious nature. Thank you, Cindy, for sharing them here — seeing one would be a delight, but seeing a whole bunch of them? Heavenly!!
Oz hit the jackpot with the birdies! ❧
Flying rainbows of hope – you gotta love them – I know I do!! Thanks so much!
Hugs to you and stay safe my friend ❧

Yes. And they are sweet too. They like to land on your head! ❧

Wish we had those in Canada. That bird anywhere would compete with the colorful people around the world
Yes, all the beautiful colors in our world ❧
Beautiful! Hope abounds…
Thank God ❧
Where are you that you see outside these rainbows?
I was in the magical Emerald Oz ❧
What a beauty!
Mother Nature never ceases to amaze. Stay well Dor ❧
So, you have found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Thanks for sharing the beauty with your wonderful shots, Cindy!
I did indeed and we owe our thanks to Mother Nature ❧

They really are flying rainbows Cindy!
Aren’t they gorgeous. Cheers to you Darnell ❧
Pretty much knocked my favourite painted buntings of their rainbow perch, Cindy!
Smiling…..They are simply amazing. Stay safe my friend ❧
Wow there are many of them. I like the picture that one sort of hinding behind bushes with bright orange flowers and strange looking one too.
Yes, Australia has the most incredible variety of exotic flowers & birds! Stay safe my friend ❧
Wow, they really are flying rainbows! Thanks for the messages of hope!!

Great title to the post and even cooler birds! Love the lorikeets.
Hi Brenda & thank you! Hope you and your family are staying safe and well ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
Likewise. CA is sensible in mostly staying closed. But the birds are still free.
God Bless the birds, and you Brenda, and you know I mean it <3
I just found some more chalk… I need to add some rainbows to my chalk art 😉
Good for you! ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
These vibrant pictures are so satisfying to look at! Do you know what the yellow plant is called?
Best Wishes, Charlotte
I think it is a Grevillea Charlotte (There are many types and grow as bushes or trees). The birds are a nectar, pollen eater and love the similar Bottlebrush plants as well 😀
Possibly a Grevillea Honey Gem? See: https://www.grevilleas.com.au/grev13mp.html
Oz has the most impressive collection of naturally growing pincushion, proteas and grevillea I have seen anywhere. Their plants and flowers are fascinating ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
A splash of color indeed. Beautiful subjects and beautiful work as always 🙂👍!
Thank you John. Honored. ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
Cindy, I adore rainbows and your photos so I shall take them flying or stationary. Regardless, they are delightful.
Cheers to you Lea & stay safe and well my friend <3
And you my dear friend. I know you are safe where you are and ready to “shoot” and we all benefit from your gorgeous photos. (heart)
Love to you Lea. Thank you my friend. I know we understand each other. ♡
Mais oui docteur Watson! 😉 ❤

Wow! Our birds pale in comparison in Upstate NY, but I do love seeing them. Your photos are exquisite. Thank you.
Awww, love to you Constance and so happy you “love” seeing birds. Take good care my friend ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
You, too!

Wow their colours are so vibrant. Truly beautiful birds, and as usual your wonderful photography captures the details so stunningly, Cindy! As always, thanks for sharing it with us.
You are my good friend Halim. Love to you. Thank you. And stay safe
Gorgeous photos of exquisite birds, bringing brightness and joy 😊
Since birds lift me up everyday, I am so happy, that in photos, they bring you the same lightness to you. Photos are the only way I will capture a wild bird. I am so glad they bring you joy. Thank you for telling me ♡
Great images. They remind me of the Netflix documentary Dancing with the Birds which features some truly stunning creatures. 🦜
Okay. Thank you for the heads up. I am not finding much to watch now that I like, so I suspect I will watch this! ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
You’re very welcome. 🤓

Desde Perú 🇵🇪 un abrazo desde por las hermosas fotos
Si! Gracias. Te amo en el Perú más hermoso y sorprendente. Independientemente de lo que ocurra, todos somos hijos de la naturaleza. Amor y seguridad para ti. დ
Flying rainbows, indeed! Thank you for sending these lovelies my way!!
Aww, thank you so much Jennie. I have to tell you, because you will understand, our 18 month old twin grandsons, my first, are moving, close to The Holler, and buying a house in the midst of all this covid19 chaos. I will be their babysitter. This means of course that family is close, and my 63 year old self will ramp up how much I have loved every second of my life when I hung out with children.
Oh, the nearby places we will go!I am a bit older though. I might get tired.დ
Love to you Jenny დ
That is great news! They will be getting what matters most, a loving grandmother, and a big dose of nature and the great outdoors. Please read aloud to them!! If you have on hand, “Goodnight Moon”, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, and “Brown Bear Brown Bear” that will be perfect. Yes, you will get tired, but it will be a happy tired. I’m here for you when you need recommendations, even a play doh recipe. When will they be moving?
Thanks Jennie! I have already loaded them with children’s books including ‘Good Night Moon’ and they already love them ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
Wonderful!! Tap my brain anytime. 🙂
<3 <3
Wonderful as always Cindy and certainly brightened my day… thank you.. Hope all is well and the family is safe..hugsxx♥
Beautiful birds!
Thank you Sally. I hope the same for you and yours. My daughter and son in law, and the two baby boy twins are moving closer. They are buying a house near The Holler. It seems so odd, stay at home, or move closer? We’re moving closer, even though doing this, at this time, is challenging logistic wise. Love to you and your family Sally. Stay safe, all of you დ
It must be challenging but so worth it Cindy to have them closer, and wonderful for the twins to grow up with access to your beautiful surroundings. Love to you too and thanks again for the beautiful images that brighten our days. ☻
Sorry my emoji went to the dark side for some reason ♥

Good to hear thanks Cindy..xx♥

You are an amazing wildlife photographer. You must be very patient to wait for the “right” shots.
Awww, you touched my heart, thank you so very much! Being in the presence of wild creatures makes me feel fully alive and completely happy. I love the privilege of them allowing me in their presence.
Beautiful !
