Field Notes

Description:

Rainbow Lorikeets often travel together in pairs and occasionally respond to calls to fly as a flock, then disperse again into pairs. Rainbow Lorikeet pairs defend their feeding and nesting areas aggressively against other Rainbow Lorikeets and other bird species.

Habitat:

Found Six of these Lorikeets resting in a tree on a sunny summers evening
