I tossed down some seed one evening last week, and went away for about a half minute from the door, expecting to see a bunch of pigeons munching away on m return. Instead, I saw a few pigeons and a quartet of rainbow lorikeets! I was able to observe that lorikeets are bossy little birds - they kept jumping on the pigeon's tail feathers and screeching to shoo them away from 'their' food course! I was also able to observe that lorikeets can both walk and hop - I can learn something new quite often, just by standing lazily on my doorstep!!
Another night, I witnessed five pigeons being very polite. Instead of the usual squabbling and fighting, they each waited their own turn to use the water bowl as a bath! This was quite amazing, as they usually bite each others feathers and jump on top of one another to hasten proceedings rather than show such patience. I wonder if they have picked up the vibe from my own studies and life improvements or if they were just having a well-behaved day?

Big fun to watch, and rest assured that neither side starves.
