There is a special peck order of who eats first in the lorikeet family. Mum & Dad
always head the queue, the others have to wait their turn somewhere in the tree and
woe betide if they try and jump the queue - a noisy riot takes place and the
youngsters are sent on their way. The local sparrows cheekily try and sneak a
seed here and there and annoy mum and dad lorikeet continuously. Always fun to
watch all their daily antics! The only birds who can push mum and dad off the dish
are the sulphur crested cockatoos, especially if there are a pair!
