Feeding time.

Much to Anne's horror, she made the startling discovery this morning that my beautiful palm trees that I have cultivated from seed, have developed the first flower with the next stage being the fruit of the tree.
These two Rainbow Lorikeets are enjoying the new found nectar from the flower, but Anne suggested that the next visitors will be the Fruit Bats with their subsequent droppings.
The suggestion from her that they can be carriers of various unwanted viruses, in my opinion is incorrect.
She is demanding that the removal of my cultivated palm is the only solution to the "problem."

What a shame as the birds were really enjoying the fruit of the flower.
