@Roberta,
Ooh, I thought he looked a bit like a crimson rosella so did some hunting.

Wikipedia calls him a Red Lory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Lory

I wonder what the difference between a Lory and Lorikeet is? I'd never heard of Lory before. More hunting..

@Barry The Mod,
Barry, That dawg is so gawgeous I'm drooling all over the keyboard. If I gotta get this thing repaired, it's on your head.

I'm in need of some major cuteness.
