Same species as this previous observation two weeks ago https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/197057646
Very close to same location, but two separate specimens.

Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus)Observer
thistlemouseDescription
Two adult rainbow lorikeets were seen leaving this spot twice (no photos, unfortunately) and flying into the flowering grevillea plants across the road.
I walked up to the tree after the first time and briefly saw a juvenile rainbow lorikeet head (which very quickly vanished into the darkness of the tree hollow).

The twists in the leaves has me curious. They seemed to be separate from the bigger plant, I did push aside the leaves but did not check for the plant base/s.
If anyone has suggestions, ideas or similar observations - please do share in a comment!

Lots of photos because documented the gradual opening up of the the "foam ball".
Only one organism per foam ball.
Most photos taken through a x10 magnifier- scales visible are 0.5mm and 1/16 inch (mostly the mm one is visible).
