Hi MichaelSze! The birds in the second picture are not Rainbow Lorikeets, but hybrids: rainbow lorikeet x loriini (lories and lorikeets). They should be uploaded as a separate spotting. See the red crown, and nape which is blue instead of yellow. Another example here, probable from the same aviary: http://www.newikis.com/en/commons/File:Loriini_hybrid_-Edward_Youde_Aviary,_Hong_Kong_Park,_Hong_Kong-8a_(2).jpg We kindly ask you to indicate under habitat that these birds are captive. Thank you in advance.
Any colour that Mother Nature did not use? :)
