These wonderfully bright birds are on exhibit at the San Antonio Zoo. You can go into their habitat and feed them nectar. These two were actually squabbling about which one of them should be eating.

Great Image, Congratulations! #1749855Ches Weldishofer August 22, 2005
Thank you all. I'm glad other people like it! :)These Lorys are amazing, there is an exihibit of about 20-30 of them red, orange, the wonderful multi I caught here. You buy nectar when going in, then the birds practically attack you wanting to get to it. These two were sitting on my left hand drinking from the same nectar cup as I was snapping pics of them with my right.
I did a bit of photoshopping the background just to help them stand out and the simple border finished it neatly.
Thank you all for your comments. I'm thrilled that it finalled!
