Unfraid of people, the lorikeets come right up and land on your arm for a drink of nectar.

Was this at the San Diego Wild Animal Park? Nice shot - it's tough to get those lorikeets in focus, they move so quickly.

Thanks for asking Mark. This was taken at the Long Beach Aquarium. The little devils are fast, but this pair seemed to want to pose in spite of the nectar so close in reach.
