'Who's the new guy?' Adorable moment a pair of lorikeets are left confused after spotting a lookalike behind the glass of a high-rise building
A pair of adorable lorikeets have been left confused after coming across a lookalike doll.
Two rainbow lorikeets, native to Australia, were filmed perching on an apartment windowsill in eastern Sydney and observing the soft toy inside.
The encounter was shared to Reddit on Saturday with the caption 'I introduced a fuzzy friend to my local lorikeets'.

The rainbow lorikeet doll was placed in the window of an apartment in Potts Point, east of Sydney's CBD, with a view of the city.
One of the lorikeets stood next to the window and chirped loudly at the parrot toy.
He walked forward and could be seen observing the doll from different angles.
A second lorikeet could be seen stretching out his neck to get a better look from behind the doll.
Both lorikeets chirped inquisitively as if trying to make contact with the other bird.
The apartment-owner explained the soft toy had been purchased as part of a costume.

'I got this in a party shop in Sydney CBD for a work party. I was a pirate and this was my parrot,' the user explained.
The birdwatcher also said the lorikeets would visit 'almost every day'.
'They wake me up and then usually come back around sunset,' the user wrote.
'They’re such little characters. Noisy little alarm clocks but I love ‘em anyway.'
Reddit users also left hilarious comments from the perspective of the lorikeets.
'Who’s the new guy,' one commenter wrote.
'Why isn't he moving? Bro! Come look at this guy, I don't know what's messed up with him.
'We must save our captured comrade.'
