Description
This friendly lorikeet perched on a twig near me and as he ckecked me over I could imagine him saying "Hello". His feathers were beautiful with their many colors and I can understand why they are called "rainbow lorikeets". I found him at Butterfly World in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
The Rainbow Lorikeet is unmistakable with its bright red beak and colourful plumage. Both sexes look alike, with a blue (mauve) head and belly, green wings, tail and back, and an orange/yellow breast. They are often seen in loud and fast-moving flocks, or in communal roosts at dusk.
