@AlexWolfe my guess would be about 150/200 years old #ficusMacrophylla #Banyan

and it has seen this suburb change from swamp to paddocks to densely populated urban area 🙇‍♂️ the #lorikeets down here get drunk every year when they eat the overripe fruits

then they stagger across the road or footpath like little rambling pirates

everyone drives carefully when there's smell of ripe figs in the air 😆

Any one ever tried to meditate with a flock of shrieking, giggling #lorikeets
stuffing their beaks outside in your fruit trees?

Good Morning! Breakfast... Every year when the umbrella trees blossom the lorikeets have a party on the plentiful nectar and pollen, and they're a striking combination. #photography #birds #lorikeets #bloomscrolling #blossom #gift #EastCoastKin
