Welcome to the Forum, Fredg!
Just as well your one doesn't eat parrots.... it'd cost you a fortune.... remember Paul is in Australia where parrots are obviously easier to come by for peckish orchids!  :o ;D ;)

Thank you for the welcome Maggi.

I did notice Paul was in Canberra so I suppose he's in amongst a Galah or two.  ;D

Yep Fred, Galahs, Cockatoos and Rosellas about in these parts...... although they would have to be mighty small to fit into a Serapias flower.  ;D

Thanks for the fascinating pics.  I'm going to have to go out and have a closer look at them now.  Your first pic is quite amazing with how much it looks like a parrot head. :o
