Thanks Dave! I hope you are feeling better! They are very friendly birds. It is at an atrium with about 50 of these beauties flying freely. As soon as you walk in they land on you wanting you to feed them nectar.

Here's a shot of a lady feeding them nectar from the cup.

Thank you Mike. You could spot the mating pairs among the flock. They would get in the bath and then preen each other. It was very sweet to watch them care for each other.

Here's a shot after the bath. The focus was off on this but you can still see the affection they have for each other.
