Two Eastern Rosells perched on a lichen-covered branch. The left bird preens its feathers while the right faces forward against a blurred gray-green background.

@smellsofbikes @crimsonbutterfly They are! They are very shy, but these two at Yarrabend Park the other day posed there for almost half an hour.

@darkuncle the second part is not true. That's mostly erroneous media reporting primarily in the USA and Western Europe driven by exoticism (I mean, a country with a platypus?). Mexico and Brazil (80, 79 species) have more venomous animals than Australia.

@crimsonbutterfly Love lorikeets. We have a few living here in the north of Aotearoa.

@Iveyline@mastodon.social oh these are Rosellas. I thought the lorikeets were eradicated completely there?
