We are a class of Prep students, sharing all that's happening in our classroom. This blog was started by the first group of Gems, a Year One class back in 2007. We, the 2012 Gems are proud to continue on the conversation. You can read, watch and listen as we share our learning journey - a journey where we 'learn to blog' and 'blog to learn'. Please visit regularly to see what's new and join in the conversation - we'd love for you to be part of our learning.
All this week, we have had some VERY noisy neighbours! 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 are eating the nectar from the Bottlebrush flowers.They areVERYGREEDY and it oftensounds like they areFIGHTING over a flower! WE don't know why,because there's LOTS offlowers!
Even though they are NOISY, we'll miss them when theygo!
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 lorikeetscoming together at dusk to feed in the trees outsideCarina Leagues Club. The noise was DEAFENING! Have you seen big flocks like this? Where? Maybe you've been to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. TELL US ABOUT YOUR ENCOUNTERS WITH THESE BIRDS BY LEAVING A COMMENT.
