I found the parrots (4 of them) in the same patch where they have been sighted in the few days prior, which also happened to be occupied by a colony of the aggressively territorial Bell miners.<\/p>\n
As they usually do, the parrots spent their time feeding in the upper canopy and each time they attempted to land on the lower branches the Bell miners swooped in and chased them away to my dismay. Yet of all the native vegetation in the 416-hectare gardens, the parrots insisted on staying in the Bell miner colony.<\/p>\n I spent a good amount of time watching them, but they never descended low enough for a decent photo opp.<\/p>\n Apart from the Swift parrots, there were plenty of Musk lorikeets, Red-rumped parrots, Galahs, Sulphur-crested cockatoos, Eastern rosellas, Rainbow lorikeets and even Little lorikeets in the gardens.<\/p>\n In fact, there have been so many different species of parrots around this winter, that I wrote a post dedicated entirely to finding parrots in Sydney<\/a>. Some species, like the Yellow-tailed black cockatoos, can be found in Centennial Park, minutes away from the city center!<\/p>\n To express your love for parrots and to make every bird-watching trip more meaningful, you can customize a parrot luggage tag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Print your favorite parrot picture on the luggage tag, and let the lively figure and brilliant colors become the most unique scenery on your luggage. It is not just a simple luggage logo, but it integrates the love for parrots and the awe of nature into this small luggage tag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>
