Flying Visitors



One of the great things about living in Manly is the fact that we are surrounded by nature. Compared to our time in Shanghai, we feel that we are really again part of the wonderful and beautiful natural world.

This afternoon while sitting looking out the window, a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets flew up and landed on the window sill and started looking in the window. They were very curious about what was going on inside. We just happedned to have a packet of trail mix on the desk, so I stuck my hand out the window and hand fed them some sultanas. Ying then had a go and had them eating off her dainty little fingers.

They are a beautiful bird, and showed absolutely no sign of fear as I opened the window and stuck my hand out towards them.

We love Manly!
