Lorikeet Landing
On January 7, 2001 at the Santa Barbara Zoological Gardens in Santa Barbara, CA.
Lorikeet Landing features several brilliant birds, including the Red Lory, Violet-necked Lory, Green-naped Lorikeet and the Swainson's Lorikeet. They have a peculiar, brushlike tongue, which enables them to lick up flower nectar. We had purchased little cups of nectar for them to drink. It's a great opportunity to meet these beautiful birds up close and personal.
For more information about Lorikeet Landing, please visit the Santa Barbara Zoological Gardens official website:

Another Lorikeet decided to check out the camera.
Lorikeets are inquisitive birds.
This Lorikeet was fascinated with the camera and wanted a taste.
A beak.... or a foot? Then, CHOMP on the baseball cap!

After providing more nectar, this Lorikeet settled down for a drink.
