Rainbow Lorikeet

An explosion of colours and an essential pollinator of Australian forests, the Rainbow Lorikeet lives up to its name admirably: its shimmering plumage, from deep blue to incandescent red, via orange, green and acid yellow, composes a vibrant tropical palette.

A diurnal and gregarious species, it lives in large, noisy groups, gathering each evening in roosting trees. This nature piece highlights a vibrant bird, a celebration of the biodiversity of the southern forests.
