Baby Angry Drag Queens by terryliv

Baby Angry Drag Queens

The baby Rainbow Lorikeets are also now out flying with their parents.

Our daughter always calls Rainbow Lorikeets "Angry Drag Queens" and it is a very apt name for them and the babies have that angry attitude right from the start. Yesterday when I was putting some food out for them, one of the babies latched onto my finger and had drawn blood before I could get it off.

You can easily tell the babies by their dark beaks compared to the red beaks of the parents.
They are beautiful. Love the nickname!

Pretty is as pretty does. Looks like the youngsters don't have the red eyes yet, either.

I hadn't realised that they could be so nasty. Our invaders are very flighty.

@gilbertwood Hi Denise and a Merry Christmas to you and the family also. You can buy a product called Harmony from Woolies and probably Coles and is fine if there are only a few irregular visitors but bloody expensive if there are many. I make up my own concoction at a fraction of the cost. I can send you he recipe if you are interested. :-)
