The huge python hanging upside down in the air made the parrot its prey

A giant python is shown eating a bird (rainbow lorikeet) hanging upside down.

Stuart McKenzie of Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7, an Australian snake removal business, posted pictures of the snake to Facebook.

In the pictures, a coastal carpet python is seen hanging upside down from the ceiling.

Bird feathers can also be seen on either side of the reptile, as its head is completely surrounded by the mouth of a giant snake.

Mackenzie wrote in the caption of the post, "Nature can be incredible and cruel at the same time!"

"Yes, snakes may eat cute birds or soft and cuddly poops from time to time, but remember that one of the main foods they eat is rodents. Who doesn't love free rodent control around your home! "

The caption further read, "Snakes play an extremely important role in our environment, please give them the respect they deserve.

The pictures have gone viral since being shared.

It has got thousands of likes and comments.

While one user wrote, "Nature is the best and there is no shortage of rainbow lorikeets," another said, "Sahara to the snake. I don't think it would have been an easy catch."

The third said, "Beautiful snake, just doing what we all have to do to survive. Eat!"

Carpet pythons are found almost everywhere in Australia except Tasmania.

They are one of the largest snakes found on the Sunshine Coast.

Carpet pythons grow up to 11 feet but in some rare cases, especially larger ones, they can reach up to 13 feet.

According to Newsweek, the species is commonly found along the Sunshine Coast, and can often move to residential areas in search of food or shelter.

They are not poisonous, but they are incredibly strong, with a mouth full of needle-like teeth.

Carpet pythons kill their prey by suffocation.

They hunt, capture the prey, and then proceed to coil it around its body.

Each time the prey inhales, the python becomes more and more compressed, eventually leading to the death of the prey.
