It's a delight to have these guys occasionally turn up here in inner Melbourne, this shot was taken about 70m from our front door. Their gregarious manner is quite uplifting given the dour suburban setting.
It was the fashion here in the late 70's to plant "native" gardens and over the last decade these have become temporary oasis for birds like these Musk Lorikeets. I say temporary because with the destruction of their regional habitat and the local removal of the now mature eucalypts (to accommodate denser inner city housing) their days here are numbered.
