Sacred or White Ibis |
Rainbow Lorikeet |
It was late afternoon.
Flying amongst them was a solitary white ibis.
I soon realised that the lorikeets , one at a time , were harassing the ibis.
They were all flying quite quickly.
Many birds chase off predators but I had never seen a sight such as this before.
I have read that Rainbow Lorikeets are aggresive with other birds when caged.
I can only assume that the ibis may have taken one of their young.
Maybe they were sharing a tree and the lorikeets didn't like it.
If anyone else has seen this before or would like to make a comment please do.
