One of the most disappointing things about living in Australia is having to tolerate the wildlife while you're trying to get some work done. Here I am at the computer, and just outside the window I have to tolerate a rainbow lorikeet. Look at him! And he's not alone, he's got some friends with him. I'll see if I can find them in the bushes. There's one hiding back in there. Oh, you can't see him, he's eating some yummies back there. You can see the We have an apple tree just outside my office, and they love the apple tree. And I'll be honest, I love them. They're so beautiful. We have all kinds of birds that come here: king parrots, lorikeets, um, rosellas, and even cockatoos sometimes. And these are the rainbow lorikeets. Absolutely beautiful.
