I sprang into action and was lucky enough to capture this footage. (The quality is not that good I'm afraid, but not bad considering taken with hand-held, SD camcorder through a very dirty kitchen window! My question to you Australian Lorikeet experts is:- Is this again a musk/rainbow cross or is it some other combo?

The music is also all Australian : from Frank Bourke and the White Rose Orchestra (taken from one of my vinyl collection) (I just like to keep it alive!)
