We made friends with a lorikeet (parrot) we named 'Percy' 11 years ago, our first one. Him and his 'wife' (we named her 'Cruella' for obvious reasons) stayed with him for years. We then have had - and contining now - years of their offspring. Names are hard to find with so many offspring - But 'Buttons' is Percys' great-grand son, and is still here today with us. When I moved in 15 years ago, there was none of this. Now, we have a grand colalition of Magpies (corvids), Lorikeets and King Parrots that protect each other, and keep us busy if not entertained every day.
