Love nest: how a musk lorikeet fell for a red-tailed black cockatoo
Briefly

He's just obsessed... It didn't take long for the relationship to be reciprocated, with the pair spending, at most, five minutes apart. Ninety per cent of the time they're very close to each other - quite often Raphael will be tucked under George's wing, particularly when it's cold - like a mother chicken with its young.
Iron said the relationship between the birds was unique, as different species tended to be ambivalent about each other. The pair hadn't formed meaningful relationships with the other animals... Both Raphael and George experienced difficulties bonding with musk lorikeets and red-tailed black cockatoos.
We wouldn't separate them now... George is probably the best looking boyfriend in all of Bonorong... Iron said that while he had no idea why their relationship was so strong, the two were probably entertainment for each other.
