NO! It's not 1G next door- it's 2 (YES,ONLY 2) rainbow lorikeets who are living in the Bottlebrush tree outside our classroom.
Click on the picture to learn more about this bird.
They do nothing but SCREECH and SQUAWK ALL day!
WE are AMAZED that 2 birds can make SO much noise! 
CLICK HERE to listen !
They are eating the nectar from the Bottlebrush flowers.
They are VERY GREEDY and it often sounds like they are FIGHTING over a flower!
WE don't know why, because there's LOTS of flowers!
Even though they are NOISY, we'll miss them when they go!
Do you have Rainbow Lorikeets visit your backyard?
Do they chat and make noise all day like ours?
What type of tree are they feeding from?
1M, I have seen flocks of over a thousand lorikeets coming together at dusk to feed in the trees outside Carina Leagues Club. The noise was DEAFENING!
Have you seen big flocks like this? Where?
Maybe you've been to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.

While I haven't ever seen a lorikeet myself, you've inspired me once more.
I dashed off this poem in honour of your struggles with your neighbours.
(This too, could use a title.)
::::
Down Under, in Australia,
The lorikeets are loud.
They're brilliant birds
Quite colourful --
But what a squawking sound!
The children love them,
Just the same,
(After all --
These birds aren't tame.)
Lovely to look at,
Harder to hear,
So use your eyes
And cover your ears
When you visit Down Under
And wonder --
Is that a lorikeet you hear?

we could call elizabeths poem "Our Rowdy Rainbow Birds"
Love Flynn
Fabulous Flynn,that's a great title - CLEVER THINKING! It's WONDERUL to see you checking out the blog on the weekend. Well done, Buddy!
That title is absolutely perfect. Clever lad, Flynn. In fact, I think you deserve a co-author credit when I post it to Inkless Tales. (Anyone who works weekends deserves a bit of glory, wouldn't you say?)

Our neighbours that live across the road feed some lorikeets each morning at about 7am and each afternoon at about 2pm. Sometimes we think it is great but most of the time we don't because the lorikeets are sooooo noisy. They sit in our front tree and chat to each other for hours.
love from Lauren
you could call this poem "Lovely Loud Lorikeets from Down Under"
I think you could call the poem,
"Chirping like Mad!"
From Laura.
The noisy parrots are so noisy that they give me a headache!
