Cussing lorikeet , Larry , sizes up apple and raisin cake before hopping in and having a quick , naughty nibble at preparations for a birthday party at Queen of the Jungle's recently extensively pruned island estate.

While the humans drank various beverages , Larry sipped milk from a spoon near one of his teddy bears and seashells and guzzled honey,which he likes to mix with yoghurt , from a special container. Then he entertained one and all by dropping a bugger from time to time , whistling , imitating the sound of a telephone ringing , dragging his favourite teddy bear along the ground, inspecting and counting other teddies and soft toys in a basket .
The party was for wildlife carer , Bev , from Man Friday , the Mexican restaurant on Magnetic Island. At the end of the exciting party , extrovert Larry, who survived but was injured in Cyclone Larry , was put to bed in a cage , his favourite teddy bear, which really looks like a Noah's Ark reject, a weird cross between a unicorn and Daisy the cow , placed inside with him , its ears attached to the wire by pegs to prevent his buddy falling flat on its face... as a result of partying all day and most of the night
