Thought I'd sit the pocket on the bird feeder this afternoon

Simply amazing what this tiny little OP is capable to do, especially because it’s super compact form factor.

Beautiful birds.

Rainbow Lorikeets, a very common around much of the Australian coast, but especially in the South-East Queensland region.

Does the OP record sound ?
I imagine so . . . maybe @anzacjack can edit a little footage with delicate sounds these birds make ??

It does record sound. Haha, not sure about “delicate’ but I’ll record some. No sound in the above footage as it was slowed down. I grab another shot during feeding time in the morning. We have dozens of them come in each day.
They have a funny hierarchy. There are two birds that live in our tree and have claim they always eat first and never allow the others down to share. They just all sit up in the branches and watch. Once our pair have finished, they send out the “ok” and then the masses come down to feed. It’s amazing to watch

Ah that was recorded in slomo ?
Thought it might have been done post and you had normal footage too.

Yeah I think it'd be fun for people unfamiliar with these birds to hear the ruckus at feeding time
They are incredible to experience when grouping to feed.

quick vid with some sound this morning. The original pair got an unexpected visitor before the "mob" arrived

Nice sounds, a bit of a madhouse, ha ha.
The Cocky * visit was a bonus.
