I've noted in these pages that we have magnificent bird life where we live. And recently we have added another species to the collection - the Rainbow Lorikeet. This is a truly beautiful bird as the pictures show, with bright plumage ranging across the primary colours adorning quite a sizable creature. The birds shown are now almost daily visitors to the garden and we see them frequently.
They're probably one of the reasons why we are now going through more than 5 kg of bird-seed in a week, which makes them more expensive to maintain than Honey, our cat. Perhaps, however, we shouldn't rule out that we're fattening birds that Honey eats, which would modify the cost equation. That said, Honey is the laziest cat we've had and she seems to spend most of the daylight hours asleep. Our ample provision of food, which also disappears fast, coupled with other evidence like the repeated presence of our feathery friends, suggests however that Honey really doesn't need a supplementary diet and doesn't use the opportunities available.
