Are the bird lorikeets? The colours weren't all that clear but I thought they perhaps could be. We have many of them in Perth now although of course they are not endemic to W.A. but caged birds set free over the years. We often get them in our large bottlebrush and our cotton palm as well. Noisy little blighters they are too.<br />Another wonderful Sunday selection.<br />Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-73379695723125988482013-06-09T11:19:46.008+09:302013-06-09T11:19:46.008+09:30I'm with Delores.

That scaly texture is lovely, but will eventually all be eaten away and the trunk will be smooth like the palm by the building.<br /><br />Delores; There's been palms in every city I've lived, except the one I was born in, Hamburg doesn't have palms, too cold.<br /><br />Joanne Noragon; the birds are only digging through the outer scaly layer, not into the sturdy trunk underneath.<br /><br />Andrew; thanks, I like that one too.<br /><br />Cindi; that would be worrying until you found the cause and realised he was okay. I had a similar reaction one year when my kids bought and ate brilliantly coloured football team lollipops.

Our palms here in Florida also bear fruit, which used to drive me crazy as my pug would eat the fruit and then poo bright red seeds making me think she was terribly ill!Cindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520862122022663946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-20238291981986429482013-06-09T07:40:06.742+09:302013-06-09T07:40:06.742+09:30The last photo is really good.The last photo is really good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-75239839733965375232013-06-09T07:02:30.455+09:302013-06-09T07:02:30.455+09:30It's interesting the tree appears to have main...It's interesting the tree appears to have maintained its integrity in spite of the birds digging for dinner.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-6107733311642685302013-06-09T06:40:41.409+09:302013-06-09T06:40:41.409+09:30Just imagine living where palm trees grow...Just imagine living where palm trees grow...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-69177367254704062732013-06-09T06:03:18.366+09:302013-06-09T06:03:18.366+09:30These are lovely.
