The quartet sported green wings.

{Louise's Four Rainbow Lorikeets (Trichoglossus haematodus) who visited my garden one summer’s day in hand.}

There are many places you can see a Trichoglossus haematodus or two, but today, there are two places I can guarantee you'll see a couple of orange-chested, green winged 'screechers': in our back garden feasting atop a seed bell in the company of common sparrows and tree doves (with their feathered pantaloons on display in the heat), and at the annual Sticky Institute zine fair.

Let yourself be blown dishevelled into the Town Hall this hot Sunday morning and pick up your copy of Louise's beautiful new zine. The thirteenth in an ongoing series, it is a something of a charmer for the pocket; all the love with none of the mess.

Can't make it along in person? Look for instagram updates throughout the day and pick up a copy of Four Rainbow Lorikeets (Trichoglossus haematodus) who visited my garden one summer’s day through our online store for $3.00(AUD).
