World Parrot Day aims to highlight the threats that both companion and wild parrots face. If you're interested in this subject, check out the PBS Nature Special: Parrot Confidential on Amazon Video. It sums up their plight pretty well. Let's make a better world for parrots!

Two corellas crowd a lorikeet family at breakfast. A confused kookaburra flies over to watch the action until it gets a little too close. Although the kookaburra makes some token attempts to chase the lorikeets away, I think he really enjoys their antics. He's the teacher at their Sunday school picnic almost every day. And the Loris seem to enjoy teasing him. Note that they are plucking his feathers at 2:30
