User's notes
A group of four Rainbow Lorikeets were in a tall eucalyptus tree. They were being hassled by some Noisy Miners. The miners chased away two lorikeets then two other other lorikeets chased away those miners. Then two more miners chased away one lorikeet while the other lorikeet just shifted branches but shortly afterwards also left, possibly as there were no more lorikeets in the tree.
