This gallery is another case of right place, right time; these shots were taken with my Nikon D700 through the balcony doors at a place I rented back in 2011. They are far from my best shots, but still well worth sharing.
Anyhow, these are wild Rainbow Lorikeets, which can be found all over Sydney and were frequent visitors to my balcony. They would even tap on the window to get my attention, expecting food, although I was never able to get them to take food directly from my hand.
