Could a bird be more colourful?

Thanks to hobbs, RosInAus and Vodkaman I now know these to be rainbow lorikeets. I have to say that they could learn a lot about posing from the galahs!

Today we went into Perth City Centre and visited the Art Gallery - interesting to reflect on how, when we look at art in Europe, we do so on the basis of a whole set of ideas and values which are culture bound. When I look at art from Australia I flounder (largely) because I don't know the culture(s) from which it springs. And I'm not just talking about Aboriginal art. Much food for thought.
