Lorikeets is annoying birds. Loud, screechy, and they shit everywhere.

They are, admittedly, somewhat pretty, in small numbers at designated viewing events. When you're trying to eat breakfast, and the tree right outside your window[1], mere feet away, is infested with a swarm of them... not so pretty.
