Musk Lorikeet

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Musk Lorikeet Lucky for me to catch these little guys near ground level, they are usually very high in the canopy.
Scientific name: Glossopsitta concinna
Family: Psittacidae
Order: Psittaciformes
The Musk Lorikeet is a medium-sized, sturdy lorikeet, sometimes seen in large flocks when trees are flowering and often in mixed flocks with other parrots and other birds. They are active and noisy. This lorikeet is mostly green, with a yellow patch at the side of the breast. It has a bright red forehead and band through the eye to the ear coverts. The crown is blue, with females having less blue than males. In flight, brown flight feathers and the golden tail are revealed. Flight is fast and direct, with short angular wings and a medium-length, pointed to wedge-shaped tail. |
