Birds play wrestling

These are Rainbow Lorikeets, a rambunctious parrot that likes the pollen and nectar of gums in flower.

Here they're having fun though doubtless the technique of bullying other parrots out of a desirable tree will come in handy.

Why did you guys get all of the colorful birds?

 

[Ziggy]

Good question.
Maybe being an island continent helped their evolution.
