Rainbow Lorikeet and Butcher Bird.
This is an unlikely meeting of two different species of bird, the Rainbow Lorikeet and the Butcher Bird, in the same space of the Pepper Tree. The Butcher Bird has it's name because it is just that, it will kill other birds for food, the Rainbow Lorikeet is a seed eater and does not eat any bird species, although it has a strong defence spirit and fights off those who would eat in the same area. The butcher bird is a young bird so has not learnt to kill, also I feed it daily and it's family.
