Lorikeets Mesmerized by Mirror

Occurred on September 12, 2019 / Sydney, New South Wales, AustraliaInfo from Licensor: 'I had mounted a mirror in my garden for artistic purposes when I found the two rainbow lorikeets sitting in my sage plant, fascinated by their own reflection. They displayed a behaviour I have never seen before. I think part of this behaviour was a mating ritual. I took the mirror down when I realised they weren't keen to leave their feathered friends.'
