This bird nudged its buddy out of the rain, and it is not random kindness. Birds use shelter-sharing like allopreening, a bonding ritual that keeps flocks calm and close.

I won't apologise, because rainbow lorikeets epitomise life on the edge. Here's Yin and Yang, cuddling upside down 20 metres up...

A courting pair of rainbow lorikeets, very actively allopreening, upside down. Their heads are touching while both birds have one wing spread trying to maintain balance as they embrace.

This rather confusing picture shows a pair of rainbow lorikeets cuddling, or technically, allopreening, which consisted mostly of gentle neck nibbles. It went on for a long time, upside down, with quiet (for lorikeet) chatter, and was very very cute.
