User's notes
This young crimson rosella has taken a liking for the sweet smelling flowers of the Osmanthus delavayi (pearly gates) bush in our garden over the last couple of weeks. Today I recorded it spending 15 minutes enjoying the flowers. It would pick a small cluster of flowers and chew each one and drop them.
