With eyes closed I wait for the dawn chorus of multiple bird species to signal morning is breaking. What a beautiful sound it is. The more I listen, the more I hear.
These colourful Rainbow Lorikeets are very common around our town and their sight never ceases to brighten my days. They are rather fond of our flowering Bottle Brush shrub, especially early in the morning.
Do you hear the birds in your neighbourhood singing as dawn arrives?

Nice colors ......i like these birds Karen.
Lovely solours Karen. We have lots of these cheeky fellows in our garden too, they are so much fun to watch. Recently we have had a pair of blue faced honeyeaters visiting because the grevilleas are full of flowers.Our cats like to sit on the back of the couch near the picture window that overlooks the garden and "talk"to the birdies, but the birdies are quite safe because the cats are never allowed to go outside.
Maravilhosas! beijos,tudo de bom,chica
I Love it!

So much color! Beautiful.
I love the sound of the blackbird.

Yes, and I await the songs/calls of our local birds too. In the summer I lie in bed and listen before rising.
But Karen, the LORD did not place me in a part of the world with birds such as are common in your area! I fear I would not get anything done all day from the sheer joy of birdwatching!
Need I say, your photos are expert shots of a beautiful subject.
Hi Karen! Absolutely stunning! I just cannot believe these are real.
And I also love the dawn chorus. I have recorded our birds most mornings for years. Not sure yet what I'm going to do with all the recordings but it is fun. :)
Hope you are well and have a super week.

O yes, as dawn arrives we hear the birds singing here, but we have not these lovely lorikeets. Only in the zoo, haha.
These pictures are wonderful! The colours of the Rainbow lorikeets with the bottle brush are of an outstanding beauty. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I glanced at the blog roll pic and just saw a bunch of red...It didn't look like your normal gorgeous macro shots....I didn't see the parrot until I pulled up your site...Wow!!! What a little beauty!!!
Lovely!!
Great captures!:)
O Karen, so amazing to have these colourful birds in the garden. I can totally see they always brighten your day. The shrub is so cheerful and full of brightness as well.

What a riot of colour!!!! Yes we have rainbow lorikeets here too. The kids saw an echidna the other night and managed sot snap some photos, will post soon.
Piękne , kolorowe ptaki mają śliczne śniadanie :)))
Beautiful, colorful birds have a beautiful breakfast :)))
It is hard to spot that lorikeet amongst the colourful flowers.
Here in the summer the bird song begins about 3am so I listen with a full heart and eyes closed for a while longer.... it doesn't stop until 11pm
Thank you for capturing your part of the world for us.
Warms my soul~ helps set my spirit free~ a Jesus gift!
Wow! This is a beautiful bird!!

Oh, what a sight!
And I can only imagine the sound.
All of our birds here have left and flown south for the winter now, except for the few year-rounders.
I miss their sound in the mornings already!
These shots are amazing!
Paradise for sure.
That color is fabulous.. And every now and then I will wake up to singing birds.
Hugs~
I am forever amazed at the beauty of Australian birds.
They are very busy at the moment in the bottle brush trees. They can be deafening at times.
These shots are fantastic. The bold colors of the bird amid the bottle bush makes for gorgeous scenery....
wow så pen fugl !
I would be so excited to have this bird in my viewfinder I would be shaking with joy. And then my picture would be blurry. This is beautiful!
oh we to have a bottelbrush, but our visitors are bees and small birds that move so fast i would never be able to take a photograph.Would not mind seeing a Rainbow parakeet though one morning in ours.Lovely photographs, do they sound as lovely as they look?
Goodness - gorgeous bird (and flowers)! :-)

This is so colorful and so amazing. Wonderful!
I am amazed that you saw the birds between all these colours.
Greetings,

Wow what a gorgeous bird! It amazes me all the beauty you are able to capture every day. You certainly have a wonderful talent and eye.
Goodness, that bird is pretty! He looks right at home nestled amongst all those brightly colored flowers.
Rainbow with wings, lovely! :)
You are so blessed in so many way living where you are. To have all the wild parrots flying around and you can see them at any time. I love Lori's, I only get to see them from parrot owners. This is truly one colorful bird. GOD made these just for our eyes.
Wow...such lovely colors!
What spectacular shots of that brilliance! The first shot reminds me of something on a jigsaw puzzle that would baffle the best.
Gorgeous pics! I used to get lorikeets everyday but now with a dog, they stay away most of the time.
What a gorgeous bird - and to have them flying around the neighbourhood ! Great shots.
I'm rarely up at dawn, but I have heard birds here at 2:00 am !
To here the Sound of the birds and see this lovely colourful Lorikeets Must be fantastic. Great shots, I like them so much.
Have a very nice Weekend, Heidrun from Bavaria
