JennieG, every time I see and hear the huge flock of corellas flying overhead I say "noisy buggers". We don't seem to get as many Sulphur Crested Cockatoos as the corellas here.

Or maybe the rainbow lorikeets were smuggled in with the eucalyptus trees, Rapparee. LOL

I know there are eucalyptus trees in the US but I haven't heard of the lorikeets being over there but I vaguely recall that there is a multi-coloured parrot in South America. Maybe they look similar.
