1. Lower onto wire, keeping weight on bar with beak
2. Tricky part. Transfer weight without tilting too far ... Needs wing power
3. Pivot keeping centre of gravity over feeder
4. Tell me that's not a smug look

This is one of my favourite sulphur-crested shots; it has no technical merit at all, but it captures these birds' natural cheekiness.

Platycercus adscitus
These are very shy—unlike the lorikeets and some parrots—so they were always at extreme telephoto range.
