Pictured is “our” lourie, and “our” crestie. The shots were taken this morning, and are not spectacular – wrong light, wrong lens, and wrong photographer! But I had to shoot them. These birds – well they have a special love reserved only for my wife Elaine, and feed from her hands. Well today Elaine is away. Our Grey Lourie decided to swallow pride, and actually took the banana straight from my hands too. I do not know why it feels so humbling, and almost an emotional experience, but it really feels good. In fact it is worth a blog, because if you feed birds, this is as good as it gets!
