Spotted this little guy on a native hibiscus this morning.
It's an Port Lincoln Ringneck parrot (Barnardius zonarius) enjoying the nectar from flowers on a Malvaviscus arboreus which can be referred to by a whole range of common names - Turk's Cap Hibiscus, Mexican Turk's Cap, Sleepy Hibiscus, Lipstick Hibiscus. 🧡✨

Enchanting!
How far were you from the bird? It seems you had to zoom in quite a bit to get this much without disturbing it.
Only around 4 to 5 meters, I'd guesstimate, nostr:nprofile1qqsyqwj2h4d36zkldqda857h60uxez8lxygdw9e2q76keqe7cjrtghqpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqkeuu6 🧡✨ Yes, I did zoom.
Thank you for the zap ⚡️ nostr:npub1rfvymyj3qvu9ys9v29xa0kzrnnfsy9cpt5vjjp5gn5hzkkq2t95s4l5cyg 🧡✨
